Scots commentator Andrew Cotter hilariously narrates penguin parade in latest lockdown voiceover

Scottish sports commentator Andrew Cotter is back with another hilarious lockdown commentary, this time on an exciting penguin parade in Australia.

The BBC man lent his dulcet tones to Phillip Island's penguin parade in Victoria having previously narrated the antics of his two adorable pet labradores Olive and Mabel on Twitter.

And his latest offering lives up to the hype, with some trademark turns of phrase known to rugby and golf fans across the UK.

"I knew all about the penguins of Phillip Island before this and have visited Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road or Mornington Peninsula every year for the past 15 years," Cotter said.

"I love it all down there so this was a natural fit."

The daily parade of penguins, who waddle from the shoreline to their burrows, attracts thousands of visitors to Phillip Island Nature Park every year.

Catherine Basterfield, the park's chief executive, said: "The penguins are quite comfortable in front of an audience as they are used to doing their nightly waddle in front of visitors at the penguin parade, but this kind of global recognition goes above and beyond.

"The penguins never fail to entertain with their antics, and Andrew's wonderful wit has captured this beautifully."
