A series of wild-life programmes.
Introduced this week by James Fisher.

The fulmar is a seabird with an unusual story. Two hundred years ago the Atlantic species bred only in the Arctic and on the remote Hebridean Island of St. Kilda. Now it is widespread round the British coastline. The life history of this bird and the story of the increase in its breeding range are shown in a film made by the BBC Natural History Unit. The film is narrated by James Fisher, who has made a long and detailed study of the fulmar.
