Penguins in Flight
For anyone who is passionate about wildlife no doubt like me they will never seize to be amazed by the constant flow of new footage and astonishing facts still being unearthed even today in this age of information. This was particularly brought to my attention with the trailer for a new programme by ex monty Python funny man and filmmaker Terry Jones, for the BBC about penguins.
I was amazed when I first saw this film clip which shows for the first time penguins in flight. The quite ungraceful rounded bodies of the Gentoo penguins leaving the ice for South America in search o food is almost hard to believe. When I first set eyes upon it I thought it was new computer generated imagery tricks and in places I still wonder. For those of you who have no idea what I am on about or would like to see it for themselves log on to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/epeng001.shtml?src=ip_potpw you will not be disappointed.
