What a difference a week can make.
The first week of Springwatch at the National Trust’s Crom Estate felt more like Summerwatch, with sunshine transforming the landscape into something closer to the French Riviera. By weeks two and three, the weather had other ideas, bringing wind and rain that tested both the wildlife and the broadcast operation.
Across the 2,000-acre estate, we supported a network of cameras and microphones, some located up to 2km from the main hub, helping capture the stories unfolding around the clock.
It’s a privilege to be part of a programme that combines innovative broadcast technology with such a unique subject matter, bringing the natural world into millions of homes.
A huge thank you to the BBC Northern Ireland team for their expertise, support and warm welcome throughout the production.
