16:33Pour tous les challenges, les résultats peuvent faire ça.
16:37C'est bien. Le 17 nests sont vraiment bons.
16:40Il y a beaucoup d'eggues aussi.
16:42C'est un peu plus que l'année dernière où on ne peut rien avoir.
16:46L'honneur de la nest checks a été assez inscathé,
16:49les équipes sont wonderables de savoir comment les ternes
16:51vont s'occuper avec un grand nombre de audiences demain.
16:54Les ternes ont néréalées sur le chemin.
16:56Ils vont se rencontrer à nos visite avec un pique à la tête.
16:59C'est un peu de choc pour nos visiteurs.
17:17Le working day may be over,
17:19mais grâce à la latitude du nord,
17:22il y a encore plus de daylight left à enjoyer.
17:25C'est un long day de temps,
17:27c'est un long day d'évoile,
17:30c'est un long day de temps,
17:31c'est un long day d'évoile,
17:32c'est un long day d'évoile et de l'art.
17:36Even in down time,
17:38le avian theme continues.
17:40I've always been interested in wildlife and nature.
17:43To parents who are biologists,
17:45it's hard not to have it rub off on you.
17:48I tend to paint the stationary boat at the moment,
17:51but hopefully move on to some in flight by the end of the season.
17:56Just a different perspective on watching wildlife.
17:59And with the arrival of around 100,000 puffins from the North Sea onto the island,
18:05Thomas will have no shortage of inspiration this summer.
18:13Further north up Scotland's east coast lies the historic town of Briechen,
18:19home to a heritage railway offering passengers the chance to step back in time
18:24along a four-mile stretch of track through the Angus countryside,
18:27towards Montrose and the North Sea.
18:31For many passengers, the first port of call is the Whistle Stop Cafe,
18:36overlooking the station platform.
18:38This is Rosie, she's the station dog,
18:40and Rosie comes in for her breakfast with us every weekend.
18:44Looking after her and every other customer through their doors,
18:47are lifelong friends and colleagues, Lorraine and Wendy.
18:51We got on fine working together.
18:53We know what each other's thinking.
18:54Yeah, we know each other very well now.
18:57I know everything about Wendy's family.
18:58She knows everything about my family.
19:00Just the two of us here.
19:03The pair have a busy morning ahead
19:05as they prepare the afternoon tea for the railway passengers.
19:10They're fresh strawberries from a local Angus farm.
19:21What's that?
19:22Table three.
19:24Oh, gee, the table's all different numbers.
19:28The hour before everybody comes, that's when we get a wee bit tense.
19:31Getting everyone set up and making sure everyone's right.
19:34Wendy and I make everything ourselves on the premises.
19:38Nothing's bought in.
19:39Very high quality.
19:41Wendy's the boss, but I'm in charge.
19:43I just do what she tells me.
19:46With fewer than a hundred volunteers,
19:48this railway depends as much on its people as its locomotives.
19:52The sense of community here is quite strong.
19:55A lot of us are friends outside of the railway as well.
19:57If you go to other railways, they're probably a lot larger than ours.
20:01Because you have more people, there is less of a family feel.
20:06But here, because it's a smaller railway, everyone sort of helps out during events.
20:13Which is just as well as 70 hungry passengers begin to board the train.
20:20Have you just got your table number?
20:22Yes.
20:23Yep, perfect.
20:25Greeted and checked in by volunteer Kirsty.
20:30I'm just about to welcome the guests on board,
20:31and I'll sort of be getting the diesel ready to go,
20:34and we'll be setting off.
20:40Have all passengers arrived now?
20:41Looks like me, yeah.
20:44OK, ladies.
20:45Wow.
20:46Do you like sausage rolls?
20:47Yes.
20:51WHISTLE BLOWS
21:02Driving the train is 24-year-old operations manager, Rannell.
21:10You've got your power controller, which is your throttle.
21:13Your reverser, which is forward and reverse.
21:16Brake for just the engine, and brake for the engine and the train.
21:24Every journey you make is different. Each engine's got its own personality as well.
21:28But keep you on your toes.
21:31Got it.
21:33You've got fingers like my husband. That teacup just doesnae work.
21:37He's got big hands. It's like that.
21:39Whoa.
21:42When we're running afternoon tea, we don't want anything being spilt.
21:45Winding learning very particular about us, making sure we drive very nice and smooth.
21:49Definitely wouldn't want to cross Wendy or Lorraine.
21:51I think I've escaped so far, but I know what others have in the past.
21:58It's great. Yeah, it's really good. The food is really, really nice.
22:02It's just good to bring back what we used to have.
22:07There's a short stop at Bridge of Dunn. Quiet station today, but until the 1950s, it was a bustling junction
22:14for passengers bound for the coastal town of Montrose.
22:18Locomotive, class 26. I can be able to go back to tell my friends that I've actually been in one.
22:26We're from the Netherlands.
22:28We took the coastal road. It's a lovely place. We love Scotland.
22:36We're about to change ends and get ready to take us back to Brecon for the return part of our
22:41journey.
22:43I'm happy. Everybody else is happy. We're all good.
22:51Any more coffee, ladies? Yet?
22:58Do you remember when these trains were in operation?
23:01Yeah. She's 94.
23:07I think that's memories.
23:10Very good. Especially when people tell you that it's better than the Ritz.
23:19As the train pulls into Brecon for the passengers, the journey and afternoon tea ends here.
23:27OK, thanks very much now. Thanks. Bye.
23:30Thank you. Very good. That's great. Thank you.
23:33For the volunteers, there's still work to be done.
23:36Now it's time to do the dishes.
23:39And around here, even the train drivers muck in.
23:42We all chip in and get stuck into doing this to make sure everything's ready for the next round of
23:47visiting public that come on the train.
23:48I think a lot of us have worked to try and make sure the railway's safe for the future.
23:53We all want to make the place better. We all want to improve it.
23:56A lot of us have got emotional investment in the place.
23:59It's one of these things that's got a grip on you.
24:01You want to keep it to a high standard and want to make sure that the railway's better than it's
24:04ever been for future generations to enjoy.
24:10Unclean train equals unhappy customers and you don't want that.
24:14There's definitely a sense of community spirit and when you pull off a large event together, it definitely brings everybody
24:19closer with that sort of satisfaction of we did it as a team together.
24:39Off Scotland's east coast, the Isle of May is welcoming back some familiar faces.
24:44After eight months at sea, around 100,000 puffins have returned for another breeding season.
24:50So this island's really important for puffins because we've got a big deep soil cap, which is where the puffins
24:56can dig their underground burrows and of course lay their single eggs safely.
25:01During the breeding season on the Isle of May, we monitor quite a lot of puffins and we actually see
25:06the health of the puffin colony and see how many actually go on to fledge.
25:09It means a busy few months for David and the team as they keep a close eye on their new
25:14neighbours, checking their burrows for signs of another successful breeding season.
25:19Oh, they're so long some of these bows.
25:21A lot of puffins will actually have two chambers at the end, so one chamber is for its single egg
25:27and the other chamber is actually for its toilet.
25:29So sometimes you put your hand down, it's a bit of a lose-lose situation and as you can see
25:34it's a very dirty job.
25:35Here it goes, let's see what this one's like.
25:40Now I've got a pufflin in my hand and here is a little youngster.
25:49Well, welcome to the outside world, fella.
25:52Looking in good health, it's probably about six, seven days old.
25:57It'll stay firmly underground until it's 40 days of age and then it's freedom for this bird.
26:04So we're going to wish this one good luck on its little journey.
26:11So puffins are a big tourist attraction on the island.
26:14But we've got to make sure we get the balance right, that these people come and enjoy them but don't
26:19have an ill effect on the birds.
26:24Today they'll put this approach into practice as a visitor boat is on its way to the island.
26:32There'll be about 130 people disembarking up this jetty and up the path here.
26:38With four permitted companies operating daily trips in high season, around 15,000 visitors are expected this summer.
26:46This is one of the places in terms have chosen to nest and basically they will defend their eggs.
26:51There could be scope for lots of head pecking, but it just means we've got to be on it and
26:56making sure everyone's moving past and not lingering.
27:00It's going to be a little bit of chaos, so we're going to have to communicate really clearly.
27:17Hi. Welcome.
27:21Morning. Welcome to the Isle of May. My name is David. I am the manager of the island.
27:26First off, when you pass here, you're going to be met by our Arctic terns.
27:31They like to peck heads. They can actually draw blood as well, so be warned.
27:36What I do want to see, guys, is anyone swatting them. This is not Wimbledon.
27:41So if you've got a hat or a hood, please wear it.
27:56Excuse me, where is the place to see the puffin?
27:59The puffin. Keep going. And then left. Yes. Thank you very much. Good luck, guys. Good luck. Thank you.
28:06To live and work on an island, you really need good people skills because, of course, we deal with a
28:10lot of visitors.
28:13To connect people to wildlife, that's what National Nature Reserves are for.
28:16People are just immediately blown away considering how close we are to Edinburgh.
28:21You know, this is in Scotland. This is in the first and fourth.
28:25Many of the visitors have travelled as far as the birds themselves.
28:29From Hong Kong and Taiwan, if you want to see the puffins, it's so beautiful.
28:33The island is perfect for us.
28:34We get such a broad range of people visiting there. It's great.
28:38With puffins outnumbering people by 700 to 1, sightings are pretty much guaranteed.
28:43It's a whole host of them out there.
28:46I've been in Australia for 57 years and I'm back here with my cousin and I've always wanted to see
28:55a puffin.
28:57It's so cute. Loving it. A dream come true. Seriously.
29:05Puffins do lighten everyone's mood, so everyone's really, really excited because it's sunny today.
29:10And loads of puffins in, so lots of happy people.
29:20As the boat returns the visitors to the mainland, all that's left is David's small team and 200,000 seabirds.
29:27Out here, you soon learn that community is a lifeline.
29:32My job here on the island, I couldn't do it without volunteers, you know.
29:36We've become friends, good friends.
29:38Lizzie and Isabel, who were fresh to the island, their enthusiasm and passion brings us up as well.
29:44We remember why we do this and why we enjoy it.
29:48You've helped them on their career and on the first footstep of becoming hopefully future rangers of places like the
29:55Isle of May.
30:04Continuing up the northeast coast, 66 miles beyond Dundee, we reach Aberdeen.
30:10A city famed for its granite skyline, built on industry and the sea.
30:15Aberdeen is the oldest port in the UK.
30:17In the 70s, it absolutely blew up because of the oil industry.
30:21And it's hugely busy, still.
30:24As the city expanded, one small community, sitting on the edge, remained remarkably unchanged.
30:32Footdee.
30:32Built in the early 19th century, its name is actually thought to derive from the ancient local church of St
30:38Fittick.
30:39It's known as Footdee when you see it in a sign, but as locals we all call it Fittie.
30:44It moved into Fittie five years ago.
30:46An amazing little place.
30:47About 100 or so houses in here, with all the houses facing in the way to protect them from the
30:51storms and protect them from spirits.
30:54Once known as Fishtown, a settlement for fishermen's families, throughout the decades it retained its original charm as the city
31:02of Aberdeen grew around it.
31:04And although today its fishing community may be gone, the close-knit spirit remains.
31:09Which is one of the reasons Campbell chose to make this place his home.
31:12Its coastline, however, offered him something even more unexpected.
31:17I used to be a university lecturer and I just had this moment of a what if.
31:21So I stopped being at university, I set up a business.
31:25Scott surfs, so I've got a paddleboard school now as well.
31:28And surfing community is getting bigger and bigger and bigger, which is fantastic to see.
31:32The sea has remained at the heart of Fittie.
31:35Where once it provided a living, today it offers sports and leisure.
31:40And for those who enjoy its coastline, Campbell provides a vital service.
31:45Well every morning at 6am I'll come down to the beach and do a video report which will basically let
31:51all the surfers know and all the public know what the conditions are like.
31:54It's getting used by a lot of people so it's quite nice.
31:57It's a ritual Campbell repeats every morning without fail.
32:03Morning folks, not much going on with swell unfortunately.
32:05Tides, 10.51 for our low tide so we're just coming off high tide.
32:10But just stunning, look at that, what a morning.
32:12Cheers!
32:14It's just a stunning morning, super calm.
32:17Looking out to the sea right now, the sky is just incredible.
32:19The amount of different colours it's working on.
32:21Dolphin are feeding, they're throwing themselves about in the water, they love jumping the bow of the ferry.
32:27When you hear the waves lapping like that, it's not a bad place to shut down for a second.
32:32And you can just enjoy it.
32:34Very lucky to have this as a garden, there's no doubt.
32:40Situated at the northern end of Aberdeen Beach, Campbell's paddleboard station.
32:45Warm up for the day.
32:47But you have to get them to the right pressure, otherwise they look like you're standing on a banana.
32:51It's not going to end well.
32:53And that is us.
32:55So I've got another four to do.
32:57Round two.
33:01Big guy, how are you?
33:03How's it going?
33:04Good, good to see you.
33:05Likewise, likewise.
33:06Coffee?
33:07Absolutely.
33:09Gav's an exceptionally good outdoor instructor.
33:12He's set up and put in place for Martin Ultra, isn't it? So how many miles do you run?
33:18Yeah, a six hour race, a 12 hour race.
33:20It's good, it's good bringing up the ultra marathons up to local counties up here.
33:23Here we are for you.
33:24With the paddleboards duly inflated, Campbell and assistant Gav head to the south end of the beach.
33:30Good to go.
33:31Where their surf trailer becomes the meeting point for today's paddlers.
33:37This is the surf trailer.
33:38It stores all the surfboards.
33:40It's basically a place, a lookout spot as well.
33:42So since we're lifeguards, we can actually keep an eye on things that are going on.
33:45I think I've saved, what, 29 people in the last three years.
33:49So it comes in handy and it's very valuable.
33:52As well as providing a vital service to swimmers, Campbell's trailer is one of several along this beachfront, helping people
33:59make the most of the coastline.
34:00There's saunas, there's coffee trailers, there's taco trailers, there's baked potatoes, there's tasty cakes, there's a whole variety of everything
34:08in the beachfront.
34:08And it's quite nice to actually be part of that to help it grow.
34:12Making the most of what's on offer are Campbell's paddle students, ready for their lesson.
34:17Right, we've all paddled before, we're going to quickly go through some points.
34:20Paddle first of all.
34:21This is my okay signal.
34:23Clench fist up to the sky.
34:24That one means, Campbell, please come and help me, I'm in trouble.
34:27Off we go, is everyone alright?
34:28Yes, let's do it.
34:31That'll be a straight forward paddle out to the harbour.
34:37You alright?
34:38Yeah.
34:48Paddling at the Don is about 5.6km paddle.
34:51It's like an unknown Amazon of Aberdeen.
34:55Is that the boat that goes out and does the dolphin watching?
35:00You could ask him if he can go and bring some dolphins this way.
35:09This is so nice.
35:12It's so calm, it's so peaceful, that's how good it is for us up on Aberdeen.
35:20We're so lucky, the geography is awesome.
35:22Superb.
35:38Back at the top of the Golden Coast lies Aberdeen and its historic fishing village, Fitti.
35:45Where the mouth of the River Dee meets the North Sea, paddle instructor Campbell is out with his morning class.
35:53It's normally a seal of approval.
35:54There we go.
35:54Arr, arr, arr, arr.
35:56Uh-oh, fabs is up.
36:00There we go.
36:04Fitti's always been that little fishing village that everyone wants to be in.
36:08Which is why Campbell made it his home five years ago.
36:13Yeah, good paddling.
36:14Had to bust out a headstand.
36:19It was so lovely to be out there in the water and just floating in peace.
36:27The benefits for me living in Fitti, I mean, living by the sea.
36:30It can be a place of absolute activity, with the surfing going on or the big waves crashing in, or
36:36complete calmness.
36:43Campbell's paddle business sits among a collection of beachfront trailers, offering food, drink and experiences to a loyal following of
36:51coastal enthusiasts.
36:53And it's a fun office to have.
36:56Rocky!
36:57This is somebody wanting a hot dog.
37:00It's coming.
37:01Ready?
37:02Yep.
37:04It's on for you.
37:05That's the only reason he comes here.
37:07It's to get a hot dog.
37:10Most people know everyone.
37:11I'm pretty social, I'm pretty known on the beach.
37:13Which is nice, because you can always have a catch up with someone in Fitti.
37:17So that has been done for today.
37:19Now for the walk home.
37:20So it should take me three minutes.
37:22But it can take sometimes longer, whenever we meet people on the way.
37:30See you, Chief!
37:34Chief!
37:35Hello!
37:36How are you?
37:38Good, man.
37:38He's got a changing room to the side of us.
37:41And he's got two saunas, hand-built by himself.
37:43So they are superb.
37:45It's massively used.
37:46Massively used.
37:47I'll see you later. Enjoy.
37:48Good catch up, man.
37:48Thank you.
37:49Good catch up, man.
37:52See, he's taking time to get home.
37:53But it's good.
37:54To live in Fitti, you've got to be pretty social.
37:56Hello.
37:57How are you?
38:01Designed for protection from the North Sea, Fitti's cottages face inwards in a layout that
38:06still encourages a neighbourly spirit.
38:09It's great to get a catch up in Fitti, because you can always stop and get a cup of tea
38:12or a cup of coffee somewhere.
38:16I've got a neighbour, Norma and Donald, who are just up from me.
38:19Norma's a traditional Fitti quine.
38:21And some of the stories Norma's got.
38:23Interesting.
38:23The history's incredible.
38:26Oh, a legend.
38:28Thank you very much.
38:29Grab a seat.
38:30It's Fitti quines and Fitti loons.
38:32A Fitti quine, a young lady from Fitti, and the same with a Fitti loon.
38:37A boy.
38:38Yeah.
38:38OK.
38:39How long have you been in Fitti?
38:40The family has been in the village from the day it was built, and people got to come in.
38:45So, like, 1850s?
38:46Yes.
38:46The 1850s, yeah.
38:47My granny was born in that one.
38:49So I've been here since, what, 2018?
38:52I'll always be an incomer, won't I?
38:54There's so many new people here, they won't think that way.
38:57Right, it's family based.
38:58Is that what it used to be?
38:59It was family based, and it was that you were born into it.
39:02You didn't know anything else.
39:04Yeah.
39:05I raised with Doric.
39:07I still speak Doric.
39:08Do you ken fit fit?
39:11Fit's fit fit.
39:12Makes perfect sense to me.
39:14Yeah, yeah.
39:14Do you know which foot goes into what shoe?
39:17What shoe?
39:19What is fit fit fit?
39:20Because fit's got a few different meanings.
39:21Yeah, they can throw a lot of people.
39:23Doesn't it?
39:24They'll take a look and you'll go...
39:28Well, that was an ace cup of tea.
39:29Thank you very much.
39:30Good cheerleader.
39:31Will do.
39:31Cheerio.
39:32Cheerio no.
39:33Keep yourself safe in that water.
39:35I will, I will.
39:36All good.
39:39Some of the houses have a garden relating to them,
39:42directly opposite to a sheddy.
39:44Pretty social, without a doubt.
39:47But it's inside these brightly coloured sheds
39:49where things get really lively.
39:52So we have this thing in fitty called a sheddy.
39:54It's basically a spontaneous get together.
39:56It's like a mini bar.
39:57A nice place to go and socialise.
39:58And it can be spontaneous, that's the thing about it.
40:01Very reactive.
40:02Doors are open.
40:03Good afternoon.
40:05How's things?
40:05Good, good.
40:06How are you?
40:06Good.
40:07Good.
40:08Out in the water.
40:09Out of class.
40:10The dolphins.
40:11It's been nice.
40:12We saw dolphins today.
40:13Aww.
40:15Living my life is I've never seen dolphins.
40:18Yes.
40:19Cheers.
40:19Cheers.
40:20Slend you.
40:21Slend you.
40:22Happy Friday.
40:23Happy Friday, I know.
40:24Ah, the fitty bar.
40:26Ah, always open mate.
40:32Being neighbours, it's a very quick bar to get to
40:34and a very quick bar to get home from.
40:35It can take a little longer than planned sometimes
40:38if you get lost.
40:40This could be the club HQ for Vinyl Night.
40:43A fitty Vinyl Night.
40:45I might be out that night.
40:49Fitty is a hustle and bustle little place
40:51with a massive eclectic variety of people
40:53through each house.
40:54That's the brilliant thing about it.
40:56The sheds, the way other people have done their sheds.
40:59It's an entertaining little place.
41:01I'm lucky to say this is home.
41:09Around eight kilometres off Scotland's east coast
41:12lies the Isle of May.
41:14Four weeks have now passed
41:16and the breeding season is nearly over.
41:19And for this year's puffin chicks,
41:20it is the most important moment in their young lives.
41:24Once pufflins hatch, they're born underground.
41:28After 40 days, they're free to go.
41:30They leave under cover of darkness
41:32and they actually walk down to the sea.
41:35And often we get birds stuck.
41:39Serious job of looking for pufflins.
41:41With around 40,000 pufflings heading for the sea this season,
41:45David and volunteer Isabel have a busy few weeks ahead,
41:49searching for any wayward pufflings who've wandered off course.
41:53So we're just going to just go around the buildings,
41:55checking all the little nooks and crannies.
41:57We just need to find them because obviously if we don't,
41:59they potentially could die.
42:00So let's have a little look.
42:05Yeah, all good.
42:08Oh, found one.
42:10It's just under there to the left, so it's sitting still.
42:15You can reach that, can't you?
42:16Oh, I can try.
42:19Yay!
42:20You got it.
42:22And here we go.
42:24This is a pufflin, stuck overnight,
42:27trapped in this compressed cylinder.
42:29So we're now going to bag him
42:31and get him on his merry way out of the open sea.
42:35That's all right. There you go.
42:37Might not be dignified, but having never flown before
42:39and unable to walk to the sea,
42:41this soft, dark bag helps to keep the puffling calm
42:44before being placed inside a transport box ready for its release.
42:50Finding the pufflings is really special,
42:52and I just love seeing them so much.
42:54I think I'm a bit addicted to the puffling walks.
42:57It's like the best Easter egg hunt of your life.
42:59And I think it's an absolute privilege even to, like, hold them.
43:02So cute, so soft and warm,
43:04and they've just got such soft little feet.
43:06It just makes me very, very happy.
43:09I think the worst job's to do.
43:11Yeah, right?
43:13And luckily, they're rather good at it.
43:16All right, I've got one.
43:18Here he comes.
43:21Hello, little guy.
43:23Yes.
43:24Aw, baby!
43:29What?
43:30Some of them are more vocal than others.
43:32Saying hello.
43:34Some of the parents are looking on.
43:36That one was actually quite hard to spot, wasn't it?
43:39It was really deep in, yeah.
43:41Well, it looks like it's going to be just two today.
43:45Each puffling is weighed and fitted with a unique ring,
43:48which allows the team to follow the bird throughout its life.
43:53Before they're taken to one of the island's highest points for release.
44:02Here we go.
44:03Well, this is the magnificent launch site, the release site for these pufflings.
44:08First time they're ever going to fly, and of course, first time they've ever touched water.
44:12So what a big moment for these birds.
44:1645 metres down, the chilly North Sea awaits.
44:22Now, instinct alone must do the rest.
44:25Spreading them out, just because then his wings are out and he's ready to fly.
44:28Look at him go!
44:29That's it.
44:29Yeah, this one's ready.
44:31I think it's ready to go.
44:32All right, I'm going to throw him straight out.
44:41The first time you let go, you think they're not going to be strong, but they'll just zoom off.
44:46Just keep going until you can't see them anymore.
44:49Yay!
44:49Yeah, she's a werelock.
44:51Go on, little fella.
44:52Go on, keep going, keep going.
44:54Whoo!
44:56Delighted.
44:56I can't believe he's gone.
44:58Let's get our second bird.
44:59Yeah.
45:01What a start of life, you know.
45:03They've never seen the sea before, and they've got to dive, and they've got to start feeding for themselves.
45:07What a tough, like, upbringing, you know.
45:09Full respect for these birds.
45:11It's launch time.
45:17Yay!
45:18Yeah!
45:19There he goes.
45:20Whoo!
45:29There he goes.
45:29The prufflings are now at sea, and they will not touch land for about four years.
45:34So, they really are seabirds, you know.
45:38Going further than yours.
45:39Go on.
45:40Go on, keep going.
45:41Does that mean you win, huh?
45:42Yeah.
45:42It's like puffin-betting.
45:44It's a way.
45:44Oh, he's still got them?
45:46He's still going.
45:46Still going.
