Travelling Birds: In the northern hemisphere spring, migrating birds fly towards the Arctic lands, where they were born, to reproduce. Some fly without pause, others in stages. They use astronomy to navigate and are sensitive to the earth's magnetic field. Arriving from every continent, they disperse and mate. The new chicks have to quickly learn to fly to undertake their first supreme test, the migration south to warmer climes as the Arctic summer ends. This is a film that documents some of those extraordinary airborne journeys alongside the birds.In the northern hemisphere spring, migrating birds fly towards the Arctic lands, where they were born, to reproduce.
