Bat swooping!

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find a clip from a nature documentary I saw once on British TV.
I know it's a long shot 'cos there are so many of these things on telly but if you know what the program was please let me know.

The bit I saw had a bat doing a perfect canopy-style swoop over water. It carved down to the surface and swooped with one claw/paw in the water making a rooster tail the PD team would be proud of!

I knew straight away it just HAD to go on a skydiving vid.

Any ideas? BBC maybe? What series/episode?

Almost undoubtedly from a BBC nature documentary. Maybe the BBC archives can help?
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

This one?



Nope, but that's nice!

To whoever suggested the BBC archives, I found out about www.bbcmotiongallery.com which is great.
There are a couple of clips there which I think are from the same section of the programme I was remembering, (5317-3 is close) although the exact shot (Carving swoop without wings flapping, long surf with rooster tail) isn't there.

Thanks for the hint tho!
