21st edition of World on the Move
Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11.00 on Radio 4 "live from the BBC Natural History Unit" is the 24th edition of World on the Move, and the last before a 4 week break. It will return on 2nd September and will broadcast weekly until December 16th.
Tomorrows show is anchored, as ever, by Philippa Forrester and the NHU's very own Brett Westwood. And you'll also hear from two other members of staff: A thrilling piece about Humpback Whales bubble netting in Alaska reported by Joe Stevens (Natures Great Events) and the third instalment from Grant Sonnex as he follows the migration of Salmon through the river systems of Alaska. We also have our World on the Move scribe Paul Evens delivering his prose on the show - And a fascinating insight into how Alaskan Bar-tailed Godwits sustain their migration between Alaska and NZ.
So an Alaskan fest as a mark of poignancy for this hugely important part of the world for migrating animals. And all can be seen and heard on www.bbc.co.uk/worldonthemove
And you can listen to the 21.00 repeat on Wednesday or hear elements of the programme on World Service Science in Action.

World on the Move: Mammoth series for Radio 4 coming soon
BBC Radio 4 is to embark on its biggest ever natural history event later this month - a 44-week "high risk" project tracking scores of species of migrating animals. In what BBC executives claim will be Britain's first radio-led multimedia programming event, World on the Move: Great Animal Migrations will cost the network more than £500,000 and will begin charting the progress of hundreds of animals over a 44-week period from February 12th.
World on the Move will be anchored from the studio by former Tomorrow's World host Philippa Forrester. Radio 4 wildlife presenter Brett Westwood will travel the world as the programme follows creatures such as the Alaskan bar-tailed godwit, which migrates from New Zealand to Alaska each year, a journey so long it ends up digesting its own muscles and internal organs.
