When I hear Sir David's voice, my brain enters in education mode....

“One hummingbird has gone to great lengths...” I see what he did there.

Sir David Attenborough, whenever I look at nature I hear his voice. For me, his voice became as a part of the mother nature.

[vilyspevak]

Nature always fascinate me...with Attenborough's voice is no exception

To my eye, the most impressive thing is how the bird is able to control it's flight so precisely that, even in slow motion, it manages to hold its head and beak absolutely dead still and move it with pinpoint precision. All that while beating at the air multiple times a second.

“Hey dawg can I get some nectar?”

“Only a sip.”

When David Attenborough moves on from life. The narration of Nature documentaries will never be the same or appreciated as much.

Some of these shots felt like CGI.. Kudos to the amazing production team and especially the camera team for these amazing visuals.

I want the narrator to be my grandfather and tell me stories.

I can't stop watching David Attenborough

I recently put up a hummingbird feeder and now one hummingbird is claiming it and attacks other birds who try to feed off of it.

Idk how it is measured but I think it is safe to say
David has the best voice of all time.
I have had sleep anxiety and his narration helped me so much

[VeEjAy]

Which is more mesmerizing? Nature or David’ voice?

[ultimateparkmasters]

The wonders of the natural world never seize to exist.

And Sir Attenbourough never fails to deliver.
