Lost in paradise

"Birds of the gods" is a documentary narrated by David Attenborough. It follows a team of local scientists in New Guinea, as they attempt to find various birds of paradise and document their behaviour.

Perfect if you are a great fan of Attenborough, or love to see mating rituals of birds of paradise. If not, you might actually get bored after about half an hour, despite the spectacular displays of said birds. Weirdly, the male birds often display even when no females are around, suggesting that *they* don't get bored!

I thought this would be a grand treat, but I soon felt lost in paradise. Still, less than four stars feel uncharitable to the crew filming these strange refugees from Eden...
