Take a breathtaking flight on the wings of birds across six continents and experience some of the
world's greatest natural spectacles from a bird's-eye view.

3. Europe
Earthflight departs on its grand European tour, using a host of techniques including taking
extraordinary footage from microlites as they fly alongside imprinted birds. Among other wonders,
cameras soar with cranes and geese over Venice, the white cliffs of Dover and Edinburgh. White
storks leave Africa and struggle to reach Istanbul, the gateway to Europe, while cranes take an
easier route over the monkey-guarded Rock of Gibraltar. In France, the white horses of the Camargue
make a splash around the new arrivals. In Rome, the heat of the city lures 20 million starlings that
perform nature's greatest aerial display to outwit peregrines. In Hungary, sand martins grab
mayflies from the air; and at Bass Rock, gannets create Britain's greatest natural spectacle as they
dive in exquisite slow-motion. The story takes an emotional turn as storks and swallows wait for
their partners to return and indulge in a spot of DIY to impress. Finally, geese touch down in
Svalbard to raise a family. To protect their young, a squadron of birds assemble to see off polar
bears. With views of birds flying over the Loire Valley, London docklands and the bulb fieds of
Holland, this is Europe as never before.
