A wild-life travelogue Written and narrated by Kenneth Williamson
Early in May Mr. Williamson, ornithologist and island explorer, voyaged nearly 1,000 miles round Scotland.
With PETER DAVIS, warden of the Fair Isle bird observatory, he hears an American song sparrow, the first recorded in Europe.
On the Shetland island, Papa Stour,
GIDEON SINCLAIR tells him about sea-going otters; and on Foula, he climbs the Sneug in search of bonxies and fulmars.
In the outer Hebrides, he lands on North Rona with JOE EGGELING to see the world's largest grey seal colony; at St. Kilda he spends a night on Cam Mor with Leach's petrels, and hears from J. MORTON BOYD of a landing on Boreray to count wild black-faced sheep.
