May is the traditional satellite dish breeding season in Berkshire. As seen on the photo, the young ones are out of their underground dens, cautiously investigate the surrounding environment

@kravietz is that Crowsley Park? BBC had a whole new load of dishes installed recently, even after closing down the Caversham Park base of BBC Monitoring and moving back to London...

It is! This is what is visible from the public footpath but there's whole lot more shown on the Chilterns OS map

@kravietz that might be an older map, the HF monitoring antennas got removed in the 2000s - there's mostly only China, Romania and a few religious stations on HF these days, and they all stream online too (I know a few retired engineers from the place I got to first meet during my pirate radio days 😁 )
