Hi bloggers, welcome to day three of me posting three things a day. I just finished watching an amazing David Attenborough nature documentary, Seven Worlds One Planet. This is all about nature and it reveals the extraordinary wildlife stories and unseen wilderness of our seven unique continents, with an environmental message. There are seven episodes in this series, but I have managed to be able to see them all, over a few days. I highly recommend watching this series and would definitely watch it again. David Attenborough's series are so educational, but in a fun way. You can learn so much from just one episode and see some amazing scenery and videos of animals. This series is focused on Antarctica, the coldest region on earth, and the place where the warming of the oceans is having a profound effect on the weather patterns. I learned a lot from this series and would love to share it with you, so here are a few things that I learned. There is so much more to the series than just wildlife and nature, there is colour, creativity, harsh living and so much more. Grey-headed albatross, a species whose population has more than halved over the past 15 years and which is now facing extinction. The birds cannot keep pace with the rapid changes affecting their environment. When its parents fly off in search of food, a grey-headed albatross chick is left shivering on its nest. However, the howling gales, which regularly reach speeds of 120 km an hour, blow the chick off its nest. Because they have not had the time to evolve sufficiently, the parents cannot recognise the chick unless it is perched on the nest. So in Seven Worlds One Planet, I witnessed a heartbreaking sequence in which the chick desperately tries to clamber back into the nest so it can be recognised, fed and sheltered by its mother. The effect of climate change is shown in one highly effective and moving sequence. Have you watched Seven Worlds One Planet?
