Saw it today Art on TV...Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!
BBC docu`s like that are worth paying for in spades... (I pay through a local cable company)
Some of the best video and photography I have ever seen in my life. ...kin amazing!
When David Attenborough and his productions are dead and gone, so go 50% of the BBC at least IMO.
Shame but there you go... So sad.
Hope I`m wrong.

You don't have to go to the tropics to see fish that habitually predate on avian prey, been happening here in Europe for years :wink:

Most of, if ANY/all of the stuff in that Docu. is not in the tropics..
It took them 4 years to shoot that stuff......Best 4 years work they ever did IMO!

The fish/bird shots were filmed in the Indian Ocean, hence the tropics,havent seen the rest of the documentary though,just the much publicised fish shot,attenborough doesn't actually live so far away,i have spoken to people who have seen him in Richmond,apparently he is a nice guy in person,would love to bump into him.

It's not a fish I know, but I saw a YT video where a flamingo or pelican ate a pigeon - in a crowded park.

Ah, :poke: ... 'tis often said that the pelican
Can hold more in its beak ... than its belly can! :wink:

The production crew never seem to get the credit they deserve.

Sir David Attenborough... my hero since I was a small boy.

91 years old now, and still going strong.

If anyone deserves a state funeral when the sad day comes, then he does, IMO.
