Attenborough's joy at rare reptile discovery

Naturalist Sir David Attenborough is to reveal the first filmed sighting of a rare reptile from his beloved Galapagos Islands in a new TV series.

The veteran broadcaster caught the pink iguana on film while he worked on his new Sky series Galapagos 3D, and it will be the first time the creature has been seen on screen.

The species was only discovered in recent years, and Sir David said it was a privilege to spot the Penny Black of the natural world.
