| [00:00.33] |
Narration: Standing on his platform, |
| [00:01.73] |
John was perfectly placed to cover the action. |
| [00:11.12] |
But would Richard be quick enough to get to the birds before the sharks ? |
| [00:19.86] |
Richard: Just a fraction earlier, |
| [00:21.22] |
we might've got the shot. |
| [00:23.20] |
John: This one's moving out towards it now. |
| [00:24.92] |
Man: The bird didn't fly off, he got eaten. |
| [00:30.16] |
Richard: You're joking! |
| [00:31.57] |
Narration: With their highly-tuned senses, |
| [00:37.04] |
the sharks were onto the chicks in seconds . |
| [00:40.00] |
Richard: Oh, man! We got so close! |
| [00:43.09] |
Narration: While the dive team lagged behind, |
| [00:45.38] |
John's success continued . |
| [00:47.18] |
John: That's it. oh, no, it's got away! |
| [00:49.21] |
Shark came up and it's got away. Flying off. That was a lucky albatross! |
| [00:54.83] |
Narration: Each day, by mid-morning, the activity levels dropped. |
| [01:03.64] |
The birds stopped flying and there was no sign of the sharks. |
| [01:08.09] |
In the downtime, |
| [01:09.10] |
the topside crew got the chance to get better acquainted with some new friends. |
| [01:16.57] |
John: I just think it's such an honour when birds treat you as a perch! |
| [01:26.67] |
But I'm quite glad it's not an albatross! |
| [01:29.73] |
Narration: The following day, it began to blow . |
| [01:38.99] |
John: The strong wind's really helping them. |
| [01:40.38] |
It's given them enough lift to take off and carry on flying to get back in. |
| [01:48.30] |
Narration: While unseasonal winds were good news for the birds, |
| [01:51.99] |
they made Richard's task much tougher . |
| [01:56.32] |
Richard: They're just taking off too much at the moment. |
| [01:59.23] |
This wind is too strong. |
| [02:01.53] |
It's not allowing us the time to get to the birds, |
| [02:03.96] |
or the sharks to get to them. |
| [02:06.15] |
Narration: _After the wind came the rain. |
| [02:09.67] |
More bad news for the crew. |
| [02:13.12] |
But not for the chicks, |
| [02:15.33] |
who seemed invigorated by the downpour. |
| [02:19.66] |
