Cameraperson Katie Mayhew has spent the last three years filming for David Attenborough's new series.

"I think we're moving into the era of cameraperson instead of cameraman," she says.Image caption,For the latest series, Katie says filming a certain toad scene for the latest series required a lot of patience."The first year it was too cold so the toad migration didn't happen.

"The second year we went back it was a success. But we realised toads like to migrate in darkness, so we were filming till three in the morning.In hindsight though, the toads are something Katie can laugh about. "It's frustrating and fun, when you get to the end of the shoot and you've achieved the sequence that you want to, it's such a good feeling," she says.Katie loved working on an all-female crew for the toad shootBut Katie says her favourite animal to film was the adders, which involved 14 long days on shoot."They never do what you're hoping them to do. So you've got to have a lot of perseverance.
