If anyone still needed persuading that diving gannets deserved the number 1 spot in Nature's Top 40 I hope this will have helped to convince them!

I was thrilled with this programme last night having missed the first screening! 
How they managed to avoid diving into each other is staggering!
Amazing that any Sardines survive at all!  |

More fantastic images again tonight, how do these creatures survive without eating for six months? Loved the pics of the bait ball being attacked by birds form below and above and then a humpback hoovering up the whole lot. Shame about the baby sea-lions though, brought a tear to the eye I have to admit. |

What a magnificent awesome truly fabulous peice of wildlife filming for television tonight .... (tho I sweated when they kept showing that hump-backed calf as I remember the orcas in a previous programme and it was hard to watch) but no they didn't give us that tonight .... instead orcas beat a sea lion bull to death ....... more hard watching. Its what wildlife is all about .... but my tears went to the female sea lion whose pup had drowned ..... its the most heart-wrenching pathetic sequence I've ever sat thro ........
Aside from showing us red in tooth and claw the BBC have surpassed themselves yet again - and I applaud all the film makers ..... my close encounter with an adder earlier this week disappears over the horizon in comparison with the 'bait ball' and the hump backed whale - just stunning

The Humps sure like their food don't they? I think they said that they eat around a Tonne of Herring each a day!!!
Put's my plate of Whitebait and a side salad to shame............... | | | |
