Earthflight (Winged Planet) - Peregrine Falcon Hunts Starlings in Rome

5 million starlings stream into Rome every winter evening. They form some of the most mesmeric aerial displays to confuse and avoid a peregrine falcon on the look out for his evening meal.

Earthflight (Winged Planet) uses many different filming techniques to create the experience of flying with birds as they reveal some of the greatest natural and man-made monuments of the planet.
