Mysteries of the Chinese Cranes Narrated by David Attenborough
Until recently the beautiful white Siberian crane was thought to be in danger of extinction in the wild. Then, amazingly, came a report of a flock in a remote area of China. How many? Where did they come from? What of their future? Now, for the first time, a wildlife film team has reached this remote concentration of cranes and wildfowl, living on the edge of a fascinating human community in a region inaccessible by road. This is their up-to-date report on a detective story about a bird that could also now be called the Chinese crane. Written and produced by RICHARD BROCK
