New BBC wildlife series - "Earthflight"

[Colin McDonald]

If you can watch this, and haven't already (it started on BBC HD tonight), you should. Some incredible footage.

Earthflight joins the breathtaking journeys across six vast continents of snow geese, cranes, falcons, albatross, eagles and other birds . Spycams film right in the heart of the flock with microlights, hang-gliders and wirecams making up the aerial filming arsenal.

I appreciate that not everyone can use the BBC iPlayer because of copyright limitations - I hope the Guardian link works outside the UK. Pictures 14, 15 and 16 show how some of the footage was taken.
