Be sure to catch episode three of BBC4s Bird Brittania. This week it tackles the ancient and turbulent relationship we have with seabirds. It is an untold chapter in the history of our rise and fall as a seafaring people, a story of conflict, exploitation and, finally, understanding.

BBC iPlayer is your friend if you miss it.

There are some great shots of gannet out on the St Kilda stacs as well as the bold Donald S. Murray talking about the guga. And it’s not often you get to see a Niseach and David Attenborough dually regale you with a tale of The Last Auk on national television.

Good stuff.
