Inspired by the compelling Humans of New York photo blog (http://www.humansofnewyork.com/) that tells the heart warming stories of people in New York we decided it was time to tell your stories during Springwatch. We’re exploring who is visiting Minsmere & why and what it means to them to be in a spectacular place for wildlife.
Each day we will post a new #humansofspringwatch photo blog. The blog will feature a person/people who have been at Minsmere during Springwatch, along with a short quote from them about themselves, why they have come to Minsmere, and what nature means to them.
They could be a staff member or volunteer, person of any age visiting the reserve, BBC crew or VIP guest- you name it, we’ll do it!
Humans of Springwatch will go out on RSPBMinsmere Twitter and RSPB Suffolk Facebook page, as well as being reproduced for the regional paper during the 3 week broadcast period.
Do you recognise these humans of Springwatch?

Martin: “I’m looking forward to slightly more odd things. We’re going to be using a blimp in the skies above Minsmere, which will be exciting!”
Chris: “It’s going to be better than it was last year because I know it a little bit better and I know what time the best cakes are put out in the cafe.”
“I called Minsmere the Disneyland of wildlife because it offers a great range of resources to a great range of wildlife.”
Michaela: “This year I’m very excited. It’s fantastic to come back knowing we’re going to visit old favourites again, then there are surprises and the drama of what we might see.”
