Thanks to the magic of DV cameras and high-efficiency video compression, I’ve managed to make a little three minute video to share with you all – contrary to what I say in the introduction, it’s actually a quick walk around Rothera Point, pointing out some of the features and wildlife. For the technically minded, the video is 352×288 encoded in H264 at 240kbit/s.
