I am currently on a quest to collect all the documentaries Sir David Attenborough was involved with, and I keep stumbling on program and film that have little information online and were not part of his wikipedia filmography. Here's a VHS transfer I made of Eagles: The Majestic Hunters (1989), narrated by David Attenborough. It's an interesting look at the different species of eagles found around the world.

I had originally posted a transfer of the American version that was a part of the Bird of the World serie, but it was plagued by weird frame rate issue and skipping frame that I was suspecting were due to the film being originally transferred from 16mm footage to PAL VHS, and then improperly converted to NTSC VHS. I found a copy of a UK PAL tape and transferred it using my VHS-Decode setup and I am happy to say that it seem that I may have been right and this version is much more fluid and doesn't seem to have the issues of the previous encode.
