The Life of Birds - Season 1 Episode 2 The Mastery of Flight
A natural history of bird life narrated by David Attenborough.
The second programme deals with the mechanics of flight. Getting into the air is by far the most exhausting of a bird's activities, and Attenborough observes shearwaters in Japan that have taken to climbing trees to give them a good jumping-off point.
