Born to Fly

We are following the Common Cranes – one of the most important bird species in the world, in their journey south. From the Arctic, across Europe, to the sun-drenched forests of Spain and Portugal. It is a story of intelligent birds with an incredible ability to adapt to the constantly changing surrounding world. These birds disappeared from Britain for over 400 years, but have lately reappeared on the British coasts as a symbol of hope for nature lovers.

Merck is the media patron of the BIO-FILM project.
