Morning to everyone. I hope you all enjoyed the Albatross documentary on BBC4 last night. A big thanks to Steve Robinson and Matt Dyas at Indus Productions who produced it - great job, guys!
And another really big thanks to Sally (Poncet, the marine biologist in the documentary), whose work to raise awareness about what was happening to albatrosses inspired me so much. She was a fantastic person to be with when I was in South Georgia thanks to her amazing knowledge about the island and has become a firm friend.
I was really sad to hear from Sally that Alfred (pictured) didn’t make it - he really was a very special bird with a very special character! - but he is just another reason why every effort must be made to make sure that these magnificent birds do not die out.
