Flying Fish

I was watching 'Life' on BBC1 this evening and the sequence showing the Flying Fish appeared to have been filmed off the coast of Tobago ... the coastline certainly looked familiar in the background.

Anyway, for those that missed it ... the repeat is on next Sunday evening.

I have been at it again ... Life showed more wildlife footage from Little Tobago this evening.

See it on BBC1.

Oh how very really of you to say that David ... but nice to see that you are back to your best.

Speaking of Davids ... isn't Sir David Attenborough irreplaceable? I just cannot imagine watching these delightful programmes without the sound of his enchanting narration.

I am sure all penguins and, particularly, birds of paradise will realise that their stardom will wane as soon as Sir David hands up his vocal chords.

Steve,

i keep getting error messages from YouTube, saying "The URL contained a malformed video ID".
Is that my old browser or a problem at the source ?
