From the makers of Earthflight and Polar Bear Spy on the Ice, the spycameras are back with this latest BBC series. This time they travel to Antarctica and the southern oceans, where they focus on the most charismatic and popular bird on Earth the penguin. Spycameras cleverly disguised as life size penguins infiltrate the colonies to capture their emotional and often amusing lives. The emperor penguin has the most incredible life story of any bird. Just as Polar Bear Spy on the Ice changed the way we look at an iconic subject, the spycameras give the emperor penguin s amazing story a fresh perspective. The Humboldt penguin lives in the hot desert regions of South America and its problems have more to do with heat than cold. The rockhopper is one of the more comical penguins nesting on cliffs in the Falklands islands, braving incredibly rough oceans to reach the shore. The trials and tribulations of these other penguins crosscut the narrative of the emperor penguin, highlighting the differences at the same stage in their lives. When the emperors huddle together to protect themselves against minus 60degree temperatures, Humboldt penguins are tolerating plus 40degrees in the driest desert on Earth! While emperors are negotiating huge snowdrifts, rockhoppers are trying to jump up vertical cliffs. 50 different spycams reveal the secret lives of nature s most devoted parents
Ep1 The Journey
Penguins as they have never been seen before. From the
freezing Antarctic to the scorching tropics, 50 spy
cameras capture unique footage of three extraordinary
species.
Emperor penguins cross a treacherous frozen sea to reach
their breeding grounds, and on the way one becomes lost
in a blizzard. Once there, the females flipper flight
over the males and those that succeed 'waddle walk' with
their partners. They must lay their eggs without touching
the ice, but it is the males that face the greatest
challenge - overwintering alone in the coldest place
on earth.
Rockhoppers brave the world's stormiest seas, only to come
ashore and face a daunting assault up a 300-foot cliff,
hopping most of the way up. Having laid their eggs, these
plucky birds face airborne attacks from skuas and vultures.
Humboldts are a strange tropical penguin that has rarely
been filmed. To reach their desert nests they negotiate
20,000 predatory sea lions, dodge vampire bats and battle
half a million sharp-beaked seabirds.
The hard work for all the penguins finally pays off when
their tiny, vulnerable chicks begin to hatch.
Among the spy cameras capturing unique behaviour is a
technological first - robotic penguins with cameras for eyes.
Ep2 First Steps
Watched by spycams, chicks are hatching out all over.
Male emperors form an identity parade before handing
over their newborns to the returning females.
The mothers shuffle into a huddle to protect their
offspring from a blizzard. Outside, one tiny chick
doesn't make it and lies frozen by his mother. Chickcam
films the young ones walking on their mothers' feet and
taking their own first unsteady steps. Females without
young try to kidnap the new arrivals and giant petrels
force the chicks to huddle for protection.
On the Falklands, rockhopper chicks meet some unruly
neighbours - king cormorants. Predatory vultures are
seen off by a penguin army. Caracara birds grab an
eggcam and film the aerial shots of the colony! Parents
take a rock shower and even 'chimney climb' to their
own private spa. The chicks face more predators and
bereaved parents plan a chicknap.
In Peru, Humboldt chicks emerge into the desert. The
adults leave their burrow plastered in mud and needing
a bath. They're joined in the waves by Humboltcam and
boisterous fur seals. Home alone, the chicks shoot
gulls with projectile poo and the colony faces a huge
cormorant invasion.
The chicks are learning to become adult penguins.
Ep3 Growing Up
The chicks are growing up fast and becoming increasingly
independent. Emperor and rockhopper chicks are placed in
a creche as their parents go fishing. The Humboldts are
left in their burrows, as the adults enjoy a soft landing
of feathers by a beach swarming with cormorants.
Packed in a huddle, the emperor chicks have to be identity
checked before they are fed, and their parents are swamped
by hungry impostors. Giant petrels are an ever-present
danger, while vampire bats target the Humboldts. As the
young grow bigger and preen out baby fluff they sport punk
hairdos. The emperor chicks go skating on a newly-formed
ice rink, while the rockhopper chicks practice jumping skills.
Eventually all the chicks leave for the sea, tackling the same
hazards as their parents before them, from sea lions to predatory
birds, high cliffs to glaciers. All face huge challenges. There
are plenty of surprises along the way, but soon the chicks
discover their true home - the sea.
From egg to adolescent, spycams have been with the young penguins
through their tough early months. They are with them as they leave.
It will be years before they follow in their parents' footsteps
and return to breed.
