1
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:37,693
The graylag goose flies 1800 miles...
2
00:04:37,861 --> 00:04:41,948
...from south-western Europe
to Scandinavia.
3
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:56,253
The story of migrating birds
is the story of a promise:
4
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:58,756
The promise to return.
5
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:05,054
They fly, often thousands
of miles, beset with danger...
6
00:05:05,222 --> 00:05:07,139
...for a single reason:
7
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,058
To survive.
8
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:12,937
Their migration is a fight for life.
9
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:37,646
When spring comes,
they take wing for the Arctic.
10
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:40,775
Some fly relentlessly, night and day.
11
00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:43,652
Others make the trip in stages...
12
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:46,989
...laboring to reach
their distant destination.
13
00:07:49,553 --> 00:07:56,725
The Eurasian crane flies 2500 miles
from Spain to the boreal forest.
14
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,002
The white stork flies 3100 miles
from central Africa to western Europe.
15
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:33,048
To navigate across the latitudes...
16
00:10:33,216 --> 00:10:36,176
...they use the natural beacons
of the universe:
17
00:10:36,344 --> 00:10:38,762
The sun, the stars.
18
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:41,557
They can track
the earth's magnetic field...
19
00:10:41,725 --> 00:10:45,060
...as sensitively
as a compass needle.
20
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:46,288

...from the Far East
to the Siberian tundra.
23
00:13:10,874 --> 00:13:13,500
All over the Northern Hemisphere...
24
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:18,464
...on every continent
the spring migration has begun.
25
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,757
No barriers stop them.
26
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:24,595
The birds make straight
for the far north.
27
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:06,822

from India to the central Asia steppes.

00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,330
All across America...
34
00:23:35,498 --> 00:23:37,123
...from coast to coast...
35
00:23:37,291 --> 00:23:42,253
...the migrants wing their way
towards the Arctic Circle.
36
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:50,929
The snow goose flies 2500 miles from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic lands.

00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:19,265
Coming from every continent...
42
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:24,395
...the migrant birds converge
upon the Arctic and disperse.
43
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:27,773
Their life as a community is over.
44
00:34:27,941 --> 00:34:31,527
Now, it's family time.
45
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:12,998
There is a world apart:
46
00:38:13,166 --> 00:38:15,501
The realm of sea birds.
47
00:38:15,669 --> 00:38:18,003
Every spring,
they quit the ocean waves...
48
00:38:18,213 --> 00:38:21,590
...and flock to nest
on the same cliffs and rocks.
49
00:38:33,728 --> 00:38:39,149
The common murre
are scattered over the North Atlantic.
50
00:39:44,799 --> 00:39:48,135
The northern gannet
in the North Atlantic.
51
00:41:30,572 --> 00:41:32,781
The Arctic summer is short-lived.
52
00:41:32,949 --> 00:41:38,078
Soon the northern lands will be
locked in the cold of the polar night.
53
00:41:38,246 --> 00:41:40,873
It is time for the fall migration.
54
00:41:51,426 --> 00:41:54,261
No more food. Time to leave.
55
00:41:54,429 --> 00:41:58,390
Flying south is now a matter
of life or death.
56
00:42:06,191 --> 00:42:10,444
The Arctic tern flies 12,500 miles
from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
57
00:46:17,692 --> 00:46:18,942
Out in the ocean...
58
00:46:19,110 --> 00:46:23,321
...any floating refuge can save
the life of an exhausted bird.
59
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:28,285
For the others, there's no rest
until the coast.
60
00:48:24,026 --> 00:48:27,571
In the fall, there is
one prime necessity:
61
00:48:27,738 --> 00:48:30,490
Stay clear of bad weather.
62
00:49:11,198 --> 00:49:16,369
Traveling south
through North America.
63
00:51:59,784 --> 00:52:06,873
The red-breasted goose traveling
south through eastern Europe.
64
00:56:12,494 --> 00:56:15,955
The fall migration thins the ranks.
65
00:56:16,415 --> 00:56:20,293
Among the survivors,
by flying with their elders...
66
00:56:20,461 --> 00:56:23,796
...the youngsters memorize the route
and recognize the landmarks...
67
00:56:23,964 --> 00:56:28,468
...they will fly over twice a year,
throughout their lives.
68
01:01:59,299 --> 01:02:01,967
Traveling into Africa.
69
01:04:06,468 --> 01:04:08,677
For millions of birds from Europe...
70
01:04:08,845 --> 01:04:11,472
...the journey's end is Africa...
71
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:15,184
...but many will fall by the wayside.
72
01:04:19,981 --> 01:04:26,737
The waders fly 6200 miles from the
Arctic Circle to the west coast of Africa.
73
01:06:46,419 --> 01:06:48,712
At the end of their odyssey...
74
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:53,175
...birds from all over
reach the heavenly tropics.
75
01:06:53,802 --> 01:06:59,973
The African white pelican
crossing Africa.
76
01:11:56,187 --> 01:11:58,355
Heaven is ephemeral.
77
01:11:58,523 --> 01:12:00,482
It will only last a season.
78
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:01,775
Once again...
79
01:12:01,943 --> 01:12:06,238
...they must take to the skies
in their endless search for food.
80
01:12:24,048 --> 01:12:27,259
The Amazon.
81
01:15:20,099 --> 01:15:26,813
The albatross around Antarctica.
82
01:15:29,859 --> 01:15:34,529
No landmass slows the swell
of the southern oceans.
83
01:15:34,739 --> 01:15:38,491
Sea birds nest
on wind-lashed islands.
84
01:15:40,119 --> 01:15:42,495
The young albatross
only comes to land...
85
01:15:42,663 --> 01:15:47,125
...after circling the Antarctic
for several years.
86
01:16:54,026 --> 01:16:57,779
The rockhopper penguin
travels 620 miles...
87
01:16:57,947 --> 01:17:00,699
...following South Atlantic currents.
88
01:18:31,582 --> 01:18:34,125
The king penguin travels...
89
01:18:34,293 --> 01:18:38,213
...from the southern continents
to the Antarctic islands.
90
01:23:50,109 --> 01:23:51,943
A year has passed.
91
01:23:52,111 --> 01:23:55,947
Millions of birds have flown
thousands of miles.
92
01:23:56,115 --> 01:23:59,784
In the sky, the same journeys
start over again.
93
01:24:47,332 --> 01:24:49,333
In the Northern Hemisphere...
94
01:24:49,501 --> 01:24:52,670
...migrating birds herald
a new spring.
95
01:24:52,838 --> 01:24:55,838
The promise to return
has been fulfilled.
