Sadly I am not one of those who has the zine :( but maybe one day :)...in the meantime I thought those who are outside the UK and who don't torrent UK telly might enjoy seeing the Isles and for those like me who have not read the zine the shows are still very enjoyable *g*

Wild Scilly (Original Air Date - 23.02.2008)

Portrait of the wildlife of the Scilly Islands.A seductive piece of Saturday night escapism takes us to the Isles of Scilly, where locals enthuse about their cluster of little islands off Cornwall. The turquoise seas and pale sands make Scilly look like a tropical paradise (when the sun's out, at least). But it's the flowers and wildlife that really enchant, from dwarf pansies to grey seals. Star of the show is the ringed plover, a dumpy little bird that nests in the sand: when a predator approaches, it walks along pretending to have a broken wing to distract attention from the eggs.
