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.

6. Flying High
Special programme looking at the techniques used in the production of Earthflight. To fly like a
bird, Earthflight not only captured remarkable images of wild flocks but also relied on some
extraordinary relationships between people and birds. Filmed over four years, in six continents and
more than 40 countries, the Earthflight team used many extraordinary techniques. For some of the
unique flying shots, members of the team became part of the flock. The birds followed wherever they
went - even in a microlight over Edinburgh and London. In Africa, paragliders floated alongside wild
vultures, while a model vulture carried a camera inside the flock. In South America, wild-living
macaws, that were rescued as babies, still come back to visit their 'foster mother' as he travels
along a jungle river. In Africa, a radio-controlled 'drone' silently infiltrates masses of pink
flamingos without disturbing a feather, and microlights capture the dramatic moment white storks
arrive over Istanbul.
