Filming for a popular TV show took place at a Weymouth beauty spot today.

Radipole Lake will feature on tonight's episode of the BBC Two show Winterwatch which has been based in Dorset all week.

Members of the RSPB have been helping out with the filming of the BBC series throughout the day which features presenters Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Iolo Williams.

The show is being broadcast live from RSPB Arne, near Wareham, on a nightly basis at 8pm and concludes tomorrow night, Friday. 

A cameraman was also spotted filming pied wagtails that have nested in the trees near Longs Fish and Chips on West Street in Bridport earlier this week.

Stories featuring the diversity of UK wildlife habitats and people passionate about wildlife are also being aired on the popular nature show.

The RSPB site is a sweeping nature reserve that teems with wildlife. Heathland, woodland, mudflats and wetland meet in this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Some of the animals expected on our screens this week include badgers which will be busying themselves around their setts, and RSPB Arne's Sika Deer.

The 'carcass camera' will hope to pick up the area's resident White-tailed Eagles for a closer look at the pair of birds that have settled in Arne.

There has also been a close-eye kept on Brownsea Island's red squirrel population where camera's are set up to capture their antics.
