A suburban street with an abundance of wildlife is the star of the new series of BBC Springwatch.
For the first time, producers of the popular nature programme decided to place hidden cameras in ordinary gardens for the show's 20th anniversary run.
Filming took place on a street in the Sheffield neighbourhood of Hillsborough, where residents have installed "swift bricks" to attract the birds.
The cameras have captured badgers, foxes and hedgehogs as well as the nesting swifts.
The location was selected because of its proximity to the National Trust-owned Longshaw Estate in the Peak District National Park, where Springwatch will be broadcast from for the first time.
Sheffield is also one of the UK's greenest cities, with a quarter of its land consisting of gardens.
The series began on 26 May and is presented by Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan.
Researcher and ornithologist Jack Baddams was sent to Hillsborough to meet the human, avian and mammalian residents of the street.
He said he was delighted to see swifts nesting in the eaves of the houses and in the bricks installed by homeowners.
"Just being on this street and hearing their screams is absolutely fantastic – there's so much work going in to protecting swifts in Sheffield."
The garden cameras were first set up in April and have recorded 12,000 clips so far.
Mr Baddams added he was surprised to see badger activity in the gardens.
He said: "Badgers are becoming increasingly urban, there's some fantastic populations of urban badgers in the UK, but to see it climbing over the wall, squeezing under fences it seems out of place. But it's very cool."
One of the neighbours whose garden was "bugged" is Deborah Beck – who has a "no mow" policy for her lawn and has provided a pond, woodpile and plenty of flowers to attract wildlife.
A fox and a hedgehog were filmed as well as a "big badger" jumping on and off her wall.
She said: "We knew about the hedgehogs. And we have seen foxes here occasionally in the daytime but the badgers were amazing.
"It's so lovely – it feels like the less you do in the garden, the more the wildlife come.
"I'm really pleased about that," she said.
The series runs until Thursday 12 June on BBC Two and is also available on iPlayer.
