Earth - Flight Geese fly with man who reared them HD

Microlight pilot Christian Moullec went to extraordinary lengths in order to film birds in flight from up close. He hand-reared a brood of Barnacle Geese who now see him as their mother and follow him in flight.

The new BBC One series Earth-flight has filmed birds across the continents of the world using a variety of innovative techniques. Watch at 20:00GMT on Thursdays from 29 December or online afterwards via iPlayer at the above link (UK only).

@danlefou Thanks. I thought of Venezia because I had watched some footage shot from above the city. I can't find it in this moment but it's here on youtube - it's beautiful.

@logosfabula It's London City Airport. The team had to wait 3 years for permission to fly over London, and were only allowed to do so as part of an air show which closed the airport for a day.

I hear there is the DVD coming out does any one when? It was the most incredible series I have 2 macaws and they forget nothing and are as loving as shown in this series.

Does anyone know who composed the music for this series? Can't find any references anywhere, and I WANT it!

Now there is a man who is living. Wonderful.
