A ‘Bird’s-eye’ view on Television
After all the trouble I had finding a decent programme to watch over Christmas and New Year I finally watched a brilliant programme on Television last night. This was the second installment of ‘Earthflight’. The photography was excellent, catching a great white shark in slow motion attacking a seal and almost swallowing it whole. Some of the scenes were taken from a bird’s-eye view – they must have literally strapped a camera to an eagles back to get some of the scenes shot over the Victoria Falls and Zambizi river. There were scenes of thousands of flamingos packed together and being chased (and caught!) by baboons and hyenas. This programme was a real pleasure to watch after all the repeats and ‘comedy’ dross aired over Christmas.
