Summary

World On the Move look at the migrations of some of the really spectacular creatures - Leatherback Turtles, Humpback Whales and Albatrosses. Philippa discovers from Roy Dennis that Logie the Osprey has left Guinea Bissau and we confirm reports that the Godwits have started to leave New Zealand. Finally, we discuss ocean currents and their effect on migration with marine biologist, Jon Houghton, and oceanographer, Simon Boxall.
