BBC: Flying Penguins

"The BBC will today screen remarkable footage of penguins flying as part of its new natural history series, Miracles of Evolution.
# Telegraph TV: Watch footage of the flying penguins

Camera crews discovered a colony of Adélie penguins while filming on King George Island, some 750 miles south of the Falkland Islands"

"The programme is being presented by ex-Monty Python star Terry Jones, who said: "We'd been watching the penguins and filming them for days, without a hint of what was to come.

"But then the weather took a turn for the worse. It was quite amazing. Rather than getting together in a huddle to protect themselves from the cold, they did something quite unexpected, that no other penguins can do."
