A series of six programmes presented by David Attenborough
In this week's programme David Attenborough tells some of the strange stories about winged creatures; some of them real, some imaginary. The poor silly Dodo, the Vampire bat, the Roc bird that carried Sinbad the Sailor to the mountains, the rare 'birds of God' which were said to feed on the dews of paradise; and the most ancient story of all about the one and only Phoenix.
