Overview

Using state-of-the-art 3-D animation and a trip in a glider to show how birds have perfected the art of flying, the programme analyses how different species have evolved unique skills, from high-speed hunting at 200 miles-per-hour to precision hovering and the endurance to migrate thousands of miles.
