Pitcairn Islands – Henderson Island's wildlife

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

Henderson Island is located in the Pitcairn Island group. It lies near to the middle of the Pacific Ocean - the largest ocean on the planet. It is one of the most remote and inaccessible islands on Earth, and remains uninhabited. Due to its isolation it is little impacted by mankind and harbours several unique species of birds that occur nowhere else. Stewart McPherson made a rare visit to Henderson Island, and this film documents the wildlife that he encountered.

Falkland Islands - wildlife and heritage

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the wildlife, history and cultures of the Falkland Islands. This UK Overseas Territory is a treasure trove of natural history, with commerson dolphin, enormous elephant seals, penguins and some of the largest albatross colonies on Earth. We follow Charles Darwin's footsteps across the Falklands (for he spent twice as long here as he did in the Galapagos), we find striated caracaras - the most southerly bird of prey. These extraordinary raptors stole items from Charles Darwin and mugged presenter Stewart McPherson whilst filming! While many of the islands of the Falklands archipelago have been impacted by mankind, we visit an island with intact tussock vegetation which enables perhaps the greatest natural wonder of the Falklands; thousands of sooty shearwaters, which return back to their nests en-mass each evening.

This film is one of forty mini-documentaries made from the footage not used in the broadcast series.

Saint Helena – wildlife and heritage

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the wildlife, culture and history of the remote island of Saint Helena, a UK Overseas Territory in the Atlantic. We discover Longwood House, where Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned for the last six years of his life after the Battle of Waterloo. And we find Saint Helena's unique wirebird and follow its confirmation. Saint Helena is home to many unique plants and arguably the island's greatest treasure; its unique arthropods (more than 400 of which occur on Saint Helena and no where else on Earth).

This film is one of forty mini-documentaries made from the footage not used in the broadcast series.

British Antarctic Territory - wildlife and heritage

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the wildlife of the British Antarctic Territory - a wedge of Antarctica that includes the Antarctic Peninsula. This UK Overseas Territory is home to spectacular landscapes of ice; glaciers, ice bergs and ice sheets. This icy world is a home for leopard seals, many species of whales, penguins and petrels. On land, the flora of the white continent is sparse, and consists mainly of mosses, lichens and a few small flowering plants, but the few rocky outcrops of the Antarctic Peninsula were selected as sites for research bases of several nations. We visit Port Lockroy, a British base established during WWII. We find patriotic penguins trumpeting under the Union Flag, and the Royal Mail's most southerly outlet. Nearby, we find beaches littered with giant whale bones - the legacy of a century of whaling. North of the Antarctic Peninsula, we visit volcanic Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands. This active volcano is covered with a mix of ash and now, and we find a strange mix of penguins and geothermal hot sands. But how will this unique icy wilderness survive in the warmer world of tomorrow?

Exploring Pitcairn Island by Drone. Home of the descendants of the mutineers of the HMS Bounty.

Lets go on the first round the island drone flight on Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific. Home of the descendants of the mutineers of the HMS Bounty.  
If you would like to see how I got to Pitcairn Island you can find it here.

By Drone you will visit places on Pitcairn Island like Christians Cave, The Gods, Gudgeon Cave, St Paul's Pool, Ship Landing Point, Bounty Bay and go under water and visit the wreck of the HMS Bounty. We will also see a Humpback whale with her one week old baby.

Turks and Caicos Islands – wildlife and heritage

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the wildlife, history and cultural heritage of the Turks and Caicos Islands, a UK Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. The Turks and Caicos Islands are famed for some of the most beautiful coral reefs on Earth, home to sting rays, eagle rays, hundreds of species of reef fishes and humpback whales. Great numbers of sea turtles visit the beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands to lay their eggs, however have been threatened in recent years due to unsustainable fishing. We follow the story of a successful conservation project to safeguard the turtles and an innovative farm to save another of the Territory's rare animals, the Queen conch. Across the Turks and Caicos Islands, we find historic ruins from many centuries, including old plantations from slave-powered cotton farms, and vast salinas where salt crystals were once farmed. But the now abandoned salinas offer a refuge for countless migratory birds and flamingos today.

South Georgia - wildlife and heritage

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the wildlife of South Georgia, a UK Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. It is a rugged, rocky isle, but home to some of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. Colonies of over half a million king penguins congregate on its shores, along with millions of fur seals, elephant seals, albatrosses and petrels. The island harbours such concentrations of wildlife because, unlike Antarctic, South Georgia is not surrounded by ice during winter. An ambitious rodent eradication project has been undertaken, and it is hoped that South Georgia may harbour even greater numbers of animals in the future.

Ascension Island – natives and aliens

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary explores the extreme fragility of the ecosystem of Ascension Island, a UK Overseas Territory in the Atlantic. We find a unique species of shrimp that occur in tiny brackish pools and occur no where else on Earth. On other parts of the island, unique ferns and other plants are endemic to tiny niche habitats. Such localised species are very vulnerable to change. Major impact arrived in the form of an extraordinary experiment undertaken by Joseph Hooker and Charles Darwin that aimed to create an artificial rainforest to capture water from the oceanic winds. Today complete unnatural man-made forests dominate the slopes of the tallest peak and have altered the ecological landscape of the island with major impacts on the native ferns and land crabs.

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

This mini-documentary tells Stewart McPherson's story planning and filming the Britain's Treasure Islands TV documentary series. Stewart self funded the project, and over four years, managed to visit every one of the UK Overseas Territories to document a surprising side of the UK. He recounts his adventures traveling to the British Indian Ocean Territory, getting mugged by a striated caracara (the smartest bird of prey on the Falkland Islands) and filming in the icy waters of the British Antarctic Territory.

This film is one of forty mini-documentaries made from the footage not used in the broadcast series.

The UK Overseas Territories are 14 groups of islands scattered across all seven seas. The Territories are home to a dazzling array of birds, from the tropics, through temperate latitudes to sub-Antarctic islands and the white continent itself. From seabirds to landbirds, migratory species to localised endemics, the range of birdlife of the Territories encompasses some of the largest penguin and albatross colonies on Earth, as well as many species of frigatebirds, hummingbirds and parrots, and even flightless rails and crakes. This mini-documentary explores this surprising diversity of bird species that call the Territories home.

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).

Saint Helena is a remote UK Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. Its isolation has meant that it is home to many plant and animal species that have evolved into unique species that occur no where else on Earth. The wirebird is one such example, and is the subject of very intensive conservation efforts that are working to secure a future for this amazing bird.
