David Attenborough pays tribute to the late Sir Peter Scott , the founder of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, in a special programme that celebrates 50 years of work with some of the country's most spectacular bird life. The programme follows a year in the life of the Trust, taking in dramatic scenery from the the slopes of a volcano in Hawaii to the Russian Arctic, tracking the migration of hundreds of thousands of birds to Britain.
