Another fascinating but heart stopping, at times,watch from Sir David and his team in the first episode of this new series
I sat down to watch it and was very soon on the edge of my seat watching those Barnacle Geese chicks plunging down that cliff. 
I thought that 3 of the five had survived only to be told at the end that a fox had got them. 
On a lighter note that little jerboa was very cute ...and funny. 
I read that Sir David couldn't watch his brother (Sir Richard) in 10 Rillington Place saying ”I couldn't bear to watch my dear brother imitating a sexual murderer”
He really does seem like a gentle soul.

Becky, it was a wonderful programme! I think that the 3 Barnacle Geese in the actual programme DID survive as shown but it was the first attempt at filming a family which ended in disaster for the young ones and that is what was shown in the 10 minutes at the end.
I must say I physically jumped when the baby mantis was suddenly gobbled up by the ghostly white adult mantis , but it was so funny when it managed to escape that spider by stretching out its legs and antennae to make itself look big . |

Oh right,Eileen.... I'm happy to be wrong...it was so sad to think none of them had survived.

It's a cruel world out there. (The mantis looked like they're made out of tiny balloons)

Yes. ... I don't mind spiders but I'm not sure if I want to see what they get up to in the home. I do however love seeing the webs they spin in my garden,they are things of great beauty.  |
