Planet Earth III sees Sir David Attenborough journey into the hidden world of forests, where lives are entwined in the most unexpected of ways. From the temperate rainforests of Canada, where rarely seen spirit bears fish for salmon, to the teak forests of India, where whistling wild dogs work together to bring down prey three times their size, the forests of planet Earth are full of unseen connections.
To stand out in the misty mountainous forests of China male tragopan have developed a comical dance routine and Sir David reflects on the mesmerising bird courtship in the video above.
"Capturing this magnificent courtship display in the wild was a real challenge because the birds are so elusive and live in remote difficult terrain. Our crew waited six weeks to get the shot, and wow was it worth it!" Producer and Director Sarah Whalley says. "David was certainly impressed, and we can’t wait to share this charming behaviour with everyone at home."
