Flying Home was an episode of the BBC Nature series telling the story of one man's mission to save a doomed species, one of the rarest birds in the world - the Whooping Crane. Canadian Bill Lishman, dressed in full Whooping Crane costume, guides his birds through every stage of their development - from egg to adulthood. He then leads them thousands of miles across modern America and some of its most beautiful landscapes, to new breeding grounds in Florida.
