| Description: | BIRD ISLAND A bird sanctuary on an island in South Africa - penguins are amongst the species featured. Algoa Bay, South Africa LS a few men in a boat rowing toward camera, about to land on the island; small ship waits in BG. Wider shot showing boat tied up at small dock; a few men on dock are helping to unload some boxes. MLS same. Aerial (or at least shot from very high) panning on masses and masses of birds. MLS group of penguins walking in a sort of haphazard line to left. MCU rather strange looking shot - adult bird seems to be scooting baby bird underneath its body (in fact it almost looks as if it's crawling into a pouch!) while other young ones walk around. Wide shot hundreds or thousands of birds. Pan left: some of the birds start to fly off, as a man steps toward the edge of their crowd. Wide shot sea of birds on the ground, others flying about above, in front of old lighthouse. | |
