The script is more mystical than factual - the subtitle is Mystery Of The Flamingos - which can be cloying to those of us raised on Attenborough. But this is still a breathtakingly beautiful reflection on the fragile nature of life.

This one's a corker: the cinematography is exquisite; it's admirably devoid of any overt anthropomorphism; the narration, while a little too mythical in context, is informative.

If the narration is sometimes laid on a little thick, there remains something fascinating about these curious, balletic creatures.

It's so different and beautiful and the cinematography throughout is stunning.
