Now playing: David Tennant. Forever. Promise. I'm just a 21 year old fangirl with the odd case of Tennant obsession. You know how it goes. I spam his face a lot, so good look. Don't be afraid to talk to me and I'm sorry if my tags get too weird. I've been duly notified they get a little particular. For a closer look at my madness feel free to follow my personal blog: koschei-the-deathless . Also, if my shippy tags drive you to it you can check out my Master/Doctor page, fuckyeahmasterdoctor . Thank you, have fun, and sorry in advance :)

(d*l) Episode 1 »
Episode 1 of 6
DURATION: 1 HOUR
Take a breathtaking flight on the wings of birds across six continents and experience some of the world’s greatest natural spectacles from a bird’s-eye view.
Fly across North America and become part of a flock of millions of snow geese as they discover what it’s like to be on the hit-list of America’s national bird: the bald eagle. Glide under San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge with pelicans and experience the sensation of being on the back of a bird as you are flown through Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon and New York.
In California, pelicans reveal devil rays that perform astonishing somersaults and find bizarre grunion fish that wriggle ashore to spawn. In Alaska, bald eagles swoop among brown bears fishing for salmon. On the Great Plains, cowbirds duck and dive under the feet of fighting bison.
As we see the world through the eyes of birds, egrets show us the extraordinary habits of dolphins that strand themselves to feed; millions of shorebirds rendezvous with prehistoric creatures emerging from the sea; and gulls take us to Mono Lake, where they catch flies by chasing them with open mouths.The dream of flying like a bird is nothing compared to the extraordinary reality.
As this will be available to purchase next year, the d*l link will only be available until tomorrow.

David Tennant narrated BBC document Earthflight and first episode will be broadcast today (29.12.2011) at 8 pm on BBC 1 and will be repeated on BBC HD on Tuesday 10th January at 7pm.
There are five more episodes, each looking at birds over a different continent, using state of the art camera techniques including cameras being flown beside the birds in flight.
Episode one of Earthflight looks at America and starts in the Gulf Of Mexico. It follows some of the five million snow geese as they embark on a journey that takes them the entire length of North America to their breeding grounds in the Arctic.
Episode Two has its premiere screening next Thursday.
The series will be released on DVD on 5th March and can be purchased from this link.
Earthflight took two years to make by John Downer Productions who also produced Polar Bear: Spy On The Ice. That programme was also narrated by David Tennant and incidentally will be repeated in January on the satellite channel Eden.
“Former Doctor Who star David Tennant, who knows a thing or two about whizzing through the skies himself, provides atmospheric narration.” - The Telegraph
