Last of the present series In-Flight Movie Narrated by David Attenborough
Have you ever wanted to fly like a bird? As Wildlife takes to the air, new filming techniques bring this experience to life. Did you know that short-winged ducks are among the fastest birds and swifts are among the slowest? That woodland birds need short wings and small birds take rests as they fly? As the film flies in the clouds with a flock of geese, looks over the shoulder of a soaring buzzard or hedge-hops with a speeding starling, it reveals just how a bird's design is shaped to the life it leads - in flight.
