Bird of Paradise

If you haven't seen the stunning footage friend and cameraman Paul Stewart shot of birds of paradise for the BBC series Planet Earth, it really is a must. So are the "Diaries" that follow each program where you get a behind-the-scenes look at filming, including Stewart's endless hours in a hide with bad 80s music stuck in his head while he waited for the birds to display. The footage of the birds of paradise is so special, there is now an imitation display available on YouTube. See both below.
