Episode 3
The eight remaining wildlife film-makers are more than 9,000 feet above sea level in the Drakensberg mountains of South Africa, famous for their varied and amazing wildlife. They are competing to win just one job at the BBC's Natural History Unit, and presenter Nick Knowles and wildlife film-maker James Honeyborne are there to see if they have what it takes to do one of the toughest jobs on television.
The first challenge is to capture images of the rare southern bald ibis at their roosting site on the ledges of a 60-foot gorge. With a sheer drop to a torrent of white water below them, the wildlife rookies will have to abseil down crumbling cliff ledges and rig state-of-the-art remote cameras to see them. Who will have the nerve, strength and skill to come back with the goods?
Back on firmer ground, the teams are set a further challenge to track down as many of the region's weird and wonderful birds as they can. This is a real test of research and planning; who will get the birdie, and who will end up on a wild goose chase? The weakest team will face a last-chance challenge high up in the mountains on a mission to film one of the natural world's most majestic birds: the cape vulture. But as the pressure builds, the rookie wildlife film-makers begin to crack and James has to make some tough decisions.
