Following on from some recent threads involving wildlife of various sorts on the rail system, I thought this might be of interest:

Its a clip from a forthcoming BBC programme entitled 'The Unnatural History Of London' (main link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01k784h) which features pigeons apparently using the Underground to save a bit of flying.
Cameraman for this sequence was Mat Thompson, and for those interested in technical details, the floor level shots were taken on Canon 5D and 7D DSLRs, which are permissible for a certain percentage of HD broadcast programme content. Most of the programme was shot on Panasonic Varicams which are a bit unwieldy for this kind of thing.
Railway photographers using DSLRs for video should feel encouraged by this clip, however it should be pointed out that that the audio is recorded on a separate system so don't expect this quality if you use the built in mic!
EDIT: Apologies for to all (esp. Mods!) for originally posting in the wrong forum.
