"Last year I had to really fight my corner - a buzzard pecked its sibling to death and chucked it out of the nest onto the ground. Chris and the team wanted tp put a camera on all the beasts that were eating it.

"He was saying, 'It's really interesting' I said, 'Yes, but it's a step too far. Our audience has invested in that little chick, we don't need to see it now being decimated with a slow-mo camera."

"It was smooth, she was clearly enjoying it and looking confident as well as competent. She blew them out the water. I texted her straight away. I said she nailed it. I couldn't believe it. Anyway, I gave it an hour and I rang her up. I could barely contain my excitement."
