It's a bird that we know, but we don't see.
Stephen MossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If you want to go and see them, you go to Bempton Cliffs, or particularly the Farne Islands, and you will get within feet of them.

And yet they spend their lives, their winter, six, seven, eight months a year out on the rolling North Atlantic, floating, diving for food.

Quite, quite extraordinary.

Seven days a week, I worked on this boat bringing tourists out to see the Farne Islands, which is a seabird sanctuary.

And then on top of that, I worked in a bar at night five days a week, and it was a hotel bar, so I typically didn't get out before 3:00 AM, often later, and then I was down to the boats at 6:00 AM.

And I was exhausted, but I felt so rich, you know? And I don't mean in terms of money.
