One of my favourite hobbies (especially when I am not feeling well) is to watch nature documentaries.
On Sunday, I watched David Attenborough's latest installation of his breathtaking nature series 'Planet Earth'. This first episode was on coasts.
The wildlife photography is incredible. As Attenborough explained, Planet Earth III focuses – not merely on nature's majesty but – on how it has adapted to the world because of human activity.
It's full of dazzling Hollywood-style visuals, with overhead shots of beautiful flapping flamingos and their hatchlings that struggle to survive in the freezing rains.
Highly recommended.
9/10.
Below are some amazing print-screens I took while watching. Enjoy.

There is no one better than David telling us about nature, he makes everything so much more interesting and entertaining.
