BBC Two - Natural World, 1997-1998, The Lost Lands of Scilly

The natural history of the Scilly Isles, home to sub-tropical flora and unique fauna. 

A look at the natural history of the Scilly Isles, home to a plethora of sub-tropical flora and unique fauna, nestled in the rich Gulf Stream fed seas.

Sharks, palm trees, shipwrecks and sandy shores are all vital ingredients for a sub-tropical paradise.  Add sunken treasure, colourful corals, nectar sipping birds and exotic flowers and it sounds a long way from Britain.  But the exotic Isles of Scilly are just beyond Land's End.  Here Britain's biggest predator, the grey Atlantic seal, basks on the rocks and raucous colonies of nocturnal birds fill the midnight air.
