Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

I thought it only appropriate to wish Sir David Attenborough a Happy 100th Birthday,
(today, our time, but tomorrow, 8th May, GMT, his time,) with this 10 minute 'Top 10 David Attenborough Moments' YouTube clip...

Or if you'd prefer, this nearly 20 minute clip, featuring: Top 5 David Attenborough Moments | BBC Earth, covering 'Killer Whales attack Minke',
'Shoebill Chick Reveals Dark Side', 'Grizzly Bears Catch Salmon', 'Sardine Feeding Frenzy' and 'Polar Bear vs Walrus'...
Personally, I always thought this short clip one was one of his best, on Galapagos, Iguana vs Snakes..!

Or these two... Clubbing in the Wild (David Attenborough nature documentary parody) or: Life of Teenagers [David Attenborough Parody]

Thanks all for the birthday wishes.

It was a good one , as a number of my JR intake from July 72 were here in Canberra for a 54 year reunion. And my son came up from Melbourne for my big 70th birthday.
