    The End Oh my word. There are birds down there with chicks. Film crews have to capture events as they unfold, whatever their feelings. I know it's natural, but it's bloody hard to watch. I think we just have to observe them for a bit and see exactly what's happening. We've come back up onto the top because the weather's coming in again and we were just about to pack up and an adult with a chick on its feet managed to make its way up. It amazing using its beak and then when it got to this last little lip its wings Oh man if only the other 50 in there could do the same Hopefully the weather will clear again tomorrow and we can get back down here, and fingers crossed there'll be a few less birds in this hole. Two days later, the weather allows the team to return to the colony. Already the gully has claimed more casualties. The team decide to act. We've given it a lot of thought. We've decided that we are definitely going to dig a shallow ramp that they will hopefully use. It's very rare for the film crew to intervene, but they realise that they may be able to save at least some of these birds simply by digging a few steps in the ice. Oh man, well look. Oh my goodness. We were literally just about to leave but the first birds are definitely making their way out which is brilliant. So hopefully they'll just make their way back to the colony and them and their chicks will have a much better chance of survival because there's no chance that they were going to survive down there at all.
