Introduced by Christopher Chataway.

Man Meets Duck
At his Institute in Bavaria, Konrad Lorenz, the world-famous author of King Solomon's Ring and Man meets Dog, lives surrounded by his flocks of ducks and geese. He is studying these creatures in the hope of throwing light on man's behaviour. Tonight's visit to this unique establishment shows the results of some of Dr. Lorenz's exciting experiments in this field.
