During an episode aired on BBC Two on Sunday, 5 July, Hamza visited the RSPB-managed Coquet Island off the coast of Northumberland, a crucial sanctuary for tens of thousands of seabirds. While fellow presenter Anita Rani explored bird habitats on Essex’s Northey Island, Hamza made his way to Coquet Island, a protected refuge known for hosting thousands of breeding seabirds including puffins, Common, Sandwich, and Arctic terns.
