Last nights bird's episode was again wonderful and fascinating.
It also contained a personal Wow, as the sequence on Chinstrap Penguins was filmed on Deception Island where I have been and photographed Chinstrap Penguins! I don't think many people can say that. :D
The bit about White Pelicanseatingswallowing whole gannet chicks was just a little bit scary as I'd previously thought they only ate fish. Only the chicks that are too big too swallow or are protected by their parents make it. o_O
ETA note: There's a video of a pelican eating a pigeon in the comments. Do not click it if you don't want to see a pigeon struggling to escape a pelican's throat for several minutes.
