Five short videos by Mathilde Saljougui and Clement Chavanat from the French magasine 'Geo'

Below are links to five short videos of Fair Isle as its best (June 2016), filmed by the French journalist Mathilde Saljougui. They focus on the seabirds and seabird studies by the Bird Observatory and its research partners. Delightful shots of the wildlife and spectacular scenery are self-explanatory and further enhanced by the haunting music of our very own Inge Thomson. There are no spoken words but captions in French for those wishing to refresh their language skills. Enjoy!
