BBC’s ‘Earthflight’ airs on GMA-7

CEBU, Philippines - This January, take a breathtaking flight on the wings of birds across six continents and experience its greatest natural spectacles from a bird’s-eye view, as GMA airs BBC’s “Earthflight.”

Each episode explores a different continent, with birds providing a dramatic narrative of their journeys across it. In North America, snow geese and bald eagles struggle from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. In Europe, grey cranes dodge galloping horses of the Camargue and barnacle geese get lost over London. In South America, the condor and brightly coloured macaws travel through mountains and rainforest. Other episodes take in the astounding landscapes of Africa, Asia and Australia.

Using an array of devices – onboard cameras, drones and birds trained to fly right alongside microlights – the series takes us over the planet’s most incredible landscapes and wildlife spectacles, and reveals what it’s like to fly like a bird.

Narrated in Filipino by news anchor and environmentalist Raffy Tima, this stunning, aerial adventure will air on GMA-7 every Wednesday and Thursday night, after “Saksi,” starting tonight. (PR)(FREEMAN)
