In the UK the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds ) and their other human friends consider that microlights are a threat to birds. Don't look like that here!!!
Among a host of other threats, like habitats, wind turbines, pollution & cat's. I don't know how many ultralights are rooming the British skies but, when it comes to todays 'Operation Migration' they only use a couple ultralights to guide a flock of 14-17 whooping cranes.
And fly back along the same route and have not disturbed nor hit an on coming bird ever. Birds spot aircraft that fly below speeds of 100mph and avoid them. CatsId like to see a cat take on one of these, they like songbirds! Turbines-recent research from Newcastle University proves that claims stating turbines are a problem to birds are considerably over exaggerated. Motor traffic, guns, raptors and other wildlife kill more birds than any other sources. Bird watchers also disturb birds.
This film I have enjoyed so many times in my life!! Lovely to know there are people out there who love animals so much they would go to these lengths to save them.
impossible dreams do come true!

I saw "Fly Away Home," and am a HUGE supporter of "Operation Migration," and it's parent program, "C'mon Geese." Thanks for sharing this!
