Hi everyone I just finished watching a docunentary called
Winged Migration.If you enjoy photographing birds (and I know many of you do) then you owe it to yourself to try and see this film.
It took over three years to film,covers 40 countries and all 7 continents.
I have never seen such beauty in a film before,simply breathtaking.They ofton fly along side the birds and seem so close as to be able to touch them in flight.Here is a link to the shows highlites,it's playing for the next week every night.I hope this link works

I hope you get to see it....Mike

I agree Harry it took my breath away.I also found some more info on it


From puffins in Iceland, whooper swans in Japan, bald eagles in Arizona, flamingos in Kenya, albatross in New Zealand, macaw in Peru, geese in Nepal, and plenty of cranes and storks in the director's native France, WINGED MIGRATION is literally a tour of the world from a bird's eye view. Filmed over the course of three year's time, the production for the movie was extensive to say the least. Using a crew of over 450 people broken up into five teams, new photographic techniques were invented specifically for the purpose of filming flocks of birds in flight. Balloon, helicopter, helicopter model, remote controlled glider, traditional glider, delta plane, and ultra-light motorized aircraft are the flying devices used to achieve the film's incredible camera angles. In fact, because birds were trained to be unafraid of the delta plane, photographers were able to fly alongside flocks, sometimes filming birds as they gazed into the camera's lens while also keeping in focus the dramatic landscape unfolding below. WINGED MIGRATION takes viewers on a unique journey soaring over the Earth as few films have ever done before.
