Sir David Attenborough has been spotted in Weymouth.

The star was seen with a film crew at Weymouth harbour at about 11am yesterday.

It is understood that he boarded a fishing boat.

He was last seen in Weymouth in November filming for a TV show.

As well as being famous for his BBC nature programmes, in recent times the natural historian and biologist has become increasingly vocal in support of environmental causes, including climate change and sustainability. 

In June the 96-year-old broadcaster was awarded a Knight Grand Cross honour by fellow avid environmentalist, the then Prince of Wales.

He received the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George for services to television broadcasting and to conservation.
