a dedicated father who took a photo of his son every day for the first 21 years of his life, says it's been "a joy" to capture his child growing up. ian mcleod, from harrogate, wanted to make sure he didn't forget a moment of cory�*s childhood, so picked up his camera and started snapping. now cory, who's aged 30, has taken over photo duties and is continuing the project. you know, what if i took his photo every day? and it'd be pretty cool to see birth til death. so i'm just going to keep going until the end, i think. come the day cory is born and ijust had to make a decision. start taking photos. didn't know how long it would last. maybe a couple of years, something like that. but it's hard when you get to the end of that couple of years tojust say, "right, this is the day i stop." and so itjust went on and on and on.

i would say as a child, i didn't really understand what was going on. it wasjust part of my daily routine, having my photo taken. i'd be going to friend's house and sleepovers and things after school, and my dad would have to drive around and disturb us, ask the parents if he can come inside and take my photo, and then he'd honestly drive an hour each way, sometimes just to take a photo, and then he'd be pestering teachers to take photos on school trips and all that stuff. but, yeah, after i got through that and then youtube came, it kind of all made sense to make a time lapse film out of it, and then seeing the whole world watching it is pretty amazing. my guidelines were i had to take it between 12:00 and 12:00 at night, you know, 24—hour gap. i had to take it. and if i if it was after midnight, where if i was in the wrong place, that was it, it was lost. i feel like i would be letting my dad down if i stopped, he's gone through the whole pre—digital age doing

it and managed to cope. so if i've got an iphone, i've got no excuses, really. the whole world should see this idea that my dad had and i hope he gets the recognition it deserves, as this art project, really, as to have this vision in 1991 of this time lapse thing, pre—digital, pre—internet now to see all come together as this viral film, it's incredible. ijust think it would be a shame if i stopped. what a remarkable project! you can see the results online. my dad had a city camera in the 60s. looking back at that now, we all walked so fast! now on bbc news — the travel show. this week on the travel show, mont—saint—michel marks its millennium. that view was pretty amazing. there is the shadow of mont—saint—michel. what makes this port 1—of—a—kind.

one, two, three, four, five. and saving these bundles of love from extinction. he is thinking about it. give them some time. here it comes. - theme music. beginning this week in northern france on a journey that 2.5 million people take each year. i'm kind of getting an idea of how popular this place must be because it is off—season and it is super cold but this bus is packed.

you can see, ijust got a glimpse of the abbey... it does look pretty special! this is mont—saint—michel, one of france's most visited sites. it is an island off the coast of brittany and normandy, connected to the mainland by half a mile long bridge that opened back in 2014 and, this year, the island celebrates every special anniversary. it is the 1000th anniversary of the construction of the church. how on earth did they construct something like this 1000 years ago? this is the best of mediaeval engineering and it started off as a sanctuary dedicated to saint michael in the year 708 and it took off, the pilgrims started to come and they had to come across the bay and through the sand and it developed in 11th century with the construction of church.

the abbey sits at the top of the cliff, surrounded by the village below. even nowadays there is quick sound out there, a lot of strong currents. it must�*ve been a really is important site for people to make that sort ofjourney? yeah, thejourney a lifetime. it is just quite funny to come in here and the contrast with the mediaeval and then the shops. people are often surprised but don't forget there were pilgrims coming here and they needed to be here for and housed for one or two nights and they had to be inns and souvenir shops for hundreds of years. of course there were also religious ceremonies, medals and rosaries, these kinds of things. what is it like taking tourists around here? it depends on the time of the year. really, it can be very nice, peaceful time but i tend to like less and less

working here in the middle of summer. why's that? too many people. but it is beautiful, of course! any governing body recently took over the running of mont—saint—michel, with plans to improve the tourist experience. the viking helmets, crossbows... you see? they are encouraging people to visit off—season and steering them away from the souvenir stores towards more of the surrounding area. but accessibility is still a bit of a problem. it is still so steep and slippery that even this electric attachment is struggling to get up there! my strategy is to get as much speed up that hill and i start slowing down i will yell out sally, save me!

atencio! the islands governing body told us that making any changes to this protected site is difficult but they are hoping to find a solution within the next few years. 0nly around 30 people live here on mont—saint—michel. here are two of them. their home has been in his family since before the 17th century and is full of trinkets and antiques. tell me about this. this is your house? yes.

and what is it like to live in this place day to day? up in the abbey, the bell is rung for evening prayer. the abbey is home to a small number of monks and nuns, members of the monastic fraternities of jerusalem. some of them spend their morning start in the village, tending to the guesthouse or working part—time

jobs to help cover the orders's expenses. yes, it is really a unique place and you know we are here also to say this place has been made first, for god, and for worship. would you like itjust to be purely holy? no, that is the way it is. you cannot change the reality. when we come here in mont—saint—michel we know there will be a lot of noise during the services, that some groups are going to walk during the mass or whatever but we are here for them also. back outside, i have taken to my crutches. these are the last stes. �* , yeah, iam sure. is a champagne here for me? now we have to go down? now we have to go down. oh, my days!

that view is pretty amazing. look at this. wow! there is a shadow of mont—saint—michel on the sand. it is the best part of the day, when we come to this place in particular, the north tower, it sums it all up, i often compare mont—saint—michel being the jewel and the bay is the jewellery box, and there is the bay in the box, you have it all. and that images been there for 1000 years!— and if you're thinking of coming to france this year, here are some things to look out for. the loire valley is one of the most best places to see classic france, vineyards, mediaeval towns and more than

300 chateaux. this city is one of the bestjumping off points for the wider region and home to two of the most popular castles, including the chateau de shan bond, a 16th century masterpiece that many think leonardo da vinci had a hand in designing. in the summer months, you can head up to brittany which everywhere hosts a citywide art trail, 30 stages taking in attractions at the jules verne inspired machine theme park. you will have to pay to ride the great elephant or seaworld carousel but many other sites on the route are free. this beach town is home to europe's biggest aquarium and it is vast! there are about 1600 species at nautica in the main tank is so big it takes

about six weeks to feel. there are rotating exhibitions and right now augmented reality allows you to what life is like all creatures in the open seas. still to come on today's show, the canadian boat that likes to blow its own horn! and the big bear hug that can help save a famous marsupialfrom extinction. that is quite the noise. that noise means you are close enough! stick with us for that. i am in northern france where an unlikely dish has become something of a tourist attraction. i'm getting into the beat here! this omelette has been served here since the

19th century when the owners were in need of a quick and easy recipe to served to the island's many visitors. since then, it has become a strange staple of the french election cycle, if a presidential candidate visits here and does not eat and omelette superstitions as they are doomed to failure. and some may say that you have to be pretty important to afford it because prices start at 32 euros just for an omelette! you could get entertained though! the moment of truth. time to see if it lives up to all of the hype. i like it. really light and fluffy. i am feeling presidential already!

to canada next, and a gem from the archives. 0n the east coast lies the seaport town of st john's, capital of the province new foundland and labrador. its little harbour may look like many others around the world but listen a bit harder and you will since spot what sets it apart. it is a symphony in the harbour! we're not violins or bases or guitars. we are playing wind instruments and in the ship's whistles. something like that, you know? i go from ship to ship and asked the officers if we can use their horn for the day of that particular time i most are

happy to participate because it is something different from using their horns each day. this is the score and the way it works, the coastguard will give the countdown over channel 11, the ship to shore radio here, and there are two people, a timekeeper who reads up the time and the second is loud, and the other person follows the score. are very keen on experimental and weird music so when asked to compose a piece of music for 5—10 freighters, i easilyjumped at the chance. i have no idea what it would sound like. basically, we are given a graphic score where we can fill in dots when someone is supposed to honk their horn.

quite often you can hear a harmony which is actually not intended. itjust happens to happen every now and then. absolutely beautiful. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. horns blare. sheila was doing the horn today. the first time. and she started out, 0k, i've got to get this right, i've got to do this right. and after a while she got into it and got into the ad lib. improvised spirit of the thing and you could almost see her, her body language was going to music. and i thought "0k,this is fantastic." 60! yes! good job!

i didn't go quite the melodic structure was hoping to get but it was beautiful to hear anyway. it was interesting, i guess, puts a little bit of a i twist in your lunch hour, for sure. other than that think it is pretty interesting. i i don't know what else more to make of it really — laughter. horns blare. people think we're because we are crazy. but actually that is what art is all the start. if he had been here today he certainly would have written our symphony. right. we are off to australia next and to a sanctuary that might well end up saving a whole species from extinction. not just any species. we are

talking tasmanian devils, the creature made famous by popular culture, but which faces a really bleak future if we're not careful. we sentjacqui wakefield to see some of the work a few hours north of sydney. this is a whole other world from the arid many people think of as rural australia. barrington tops national park, five hours north drive of sydney is all about greenery, lush rainforest, and wildlife everywhere. the bush here is full of animals like koalas, wallabies, and kangaroos, but there is one animal that has been newly introduced and it could help save the species from extinction. it is hoped these will provide a safe haven for the tasmanian devil whose

populations are being ravaged over on their home island, tasmania. 90% have been wiped out by a highly infectious disease that causes facial tumours and eventually death. but this sanctuary is at the centre of efforts to save it. hey, guys, thanks for coming up. welcome to aussie ark. we have a couple of special little animals for you guys to look at today. we have sandra dee here and we also have pickles. so far, aussie ark has had seven breeding seasons with a total of around 300 baby devils or jellies. i think she just likes moving around. she is investigating, devils have a very good sense of smell, so you can see her nostrils going, she is sniffing around, because we all smell all new. it is all new people, all new smells. they admit here that inviting visitors and was something of an afterthought, but kel

reckons it is now an important part of the conservation effort. joey that you can cuddle and interact with absolutely changes people's perception of — they have personalities and are inquisitive and that is really important. no—one is going to want to look up and protect something that scared of or don't see and is really aggressive. and why save the tassie devil? australia has the highest rate of extinction of mammals compared to the rest of the world. one of the more recent animals to go extinct was tasmanian tiger, leaving the tassie devil, the biggest marsupial predator in australia. the joeys aren't set loose into the sanctuary until they have done some growing. each animal considered for release is selected for its genes. they are making sure the population is genetically diverse enough to be self—sustaining.

and before this one, called words goes, there is a thorough check. we would expect this devil now to bejumping out and grabbing onto your throat. look at it. we just get a little grumble. that is quite little. that noise is you are close enough. that's enough, thanks. come on, mate. 0k. he's in. watch your legs. please grab it and twist. you do the reading, please. 11.15. that is a big boy. that is about as big as you would expect a mail to get. wow, what a boy. 0ut he comes. 0k, he is happy for kel. even while he is wiggling, just down low, watch for him to swing, 0k? sure. tim gives them the once over while a administer the anti— tip medication. i am already having a look over and around, so fingers and toes the side, he

is a big boy, he has been dominating the yard where he is. we have a tiny little discharge in the eye. 0nly got about a kilometre. no. much shorter. 0h, thanks very much. 0k, we're going to drive into the middle of a fenced sanctuary, which essentially for these devils now is being released to the wild. people, particularly those that don't live in australia, can't understand the concept of our invasive species and predators stop light, we have introduced to australia, the fox, the cat, buffalo and pig and rats and mice. and we didn't have any of these things. so what we have to do is create islands of habitat that are invasive pest free, invasive species free. this is us. we are taking two devils out with us, a

female, and wedge, the big strapping mail at the health check. they will have an area of about 11.5 square kilometres to call home. effectively for them that feels like living in the wild. we have a great list. they will take off, probably follow the road. long—term what is the hope? long—term hope is that devils in tasmania survive in the wild and that they function in the ecological role. and secondarily that we have devils back in eastern australia on mainland. just got to think about it for now. sometimes they are not even facing the right way. he is. he is thinking about it. all right, we will give them some time. here it comes. come on, we — see how quiet he is. look, really shy, really timid. hello. how good is that? that's crazy. it's great, right. -

analysis of these two are warm tonight on this one jellies in three months and the mail has represented his genetics and, so, that is the nature of conservation. it's really complex but we can at least have some simple fun knowing that after a decade we have got to the point where we can let some devils into this island of a habitat. it is amazing. jacqui wakefield, misty, and wedge in barrington national park. right, that is it for this week. coming up next time... carmen is in the philippines, diving into life and seeing for herself the recovery one year after super typhoon haiyan swept through the tropical paradise. were you here during the typhoon? iwas here. probably the worst

experience of my life. don't forget you can catch up with all our adventures on social media. but for now, i'm off to get warm, because it's freezing! bye— bye. it has been a morning of mixed fortunes. quite a lot of cloud around this morning but a favoured few have seen some lovely spells of sunshine. however, there has also been some showers and some of them really quite heavy at times. it is

all about low pressure that is dominating out to the west that moment and we have this eclectic messy mix of frontal systems which will from time to time enhance the showers so so far today we have seen some across parts of western scotland into central scotland and also down into the south—east of england. there are some showers elsewhere and as we go through the afternoon, if you catch one of those showers, they could be pretty slow—moving indeed. by the middle part of the afternoon, it looks likely that it is going to be a case of sunny spells and scattered showers, almost anywhere across england and wales. if you dodge the showers and keep some sunshine coming through, temperatures of the mild side, 13 to 15 degrees. more organised rain moves out of northern ireland into western fringes of scotland with some heavier bursts to the extreme north, slowly heading towards the northern isles, which is still sitting in the cold air. 0nly expecting a high of five or six by

the afternoon. as we close out the day on saturday, the winds will pick up, the rain will move to the northern ireland, we will have a chilling weather front weakening just a band of cloud easing away and is skies clear, the temptress will fall away. a slightly chillier start to sunday morning in comparison to of late but hopefully it will be a sunnier start for most of us. not a bad prospect on sunday. gradually we will start to see some cloud pushing in from the west ahead of this weather front that will arrive into northern ireland by the end of the afternoon but all in all, not a bad mothering sunday for most. eight to 13 degrees, the house. still cooler into the northern isles. but then from monday onwards, the change comes once again to some wet and windy weather as a series of weather fronts in of the atlantic soap at the start of the working week, it looks likely to stay unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain at times. the temperatures pretty much where they should be for this time

of take care.
