Simon King's Shetland Adventure

[rogpow]

For anyone that's interested and hadn't noticed this in the tv listings.

Part 1 of 3 next Thursday (4th Feb) at 8pm on BBC2

Simon spent a year on the Shetlands charting the changing seasons and wildlife. I remember seeing a blog of his about trying out a new Sony camcorder for the series.
Apparently this episode includes searching out orcas.

Should be good

I hadn't noticed it, thanks for the heads-up.

Shame it wasnt aired a bit earlier as he could have highlighted the shooting of seals situation, which the petition signing stops on the 4th,

Here's the link to the Sony website where I first got wind of it last summer:

Sony : Simon King films with HVR-Z7E : United Kingdom

Gives a bit of background info to the series.

Very good, some great footage of Orcas and Otters, shame about the Arctic Tern. Nesting Gannets next week.

Very good. No hype and no flitting from one subject to another after 27 seconds. Nice to be regarded as part of a sentient audience.
