Christian has a radical solution, but government cuts mean he’ll have to do it without funding. It involves imprinting on the latest generation, driving them all in a van to Lapland and then persuading them to follow his ultralight aircraft back home via a less dangerous path. However, having already forged his department’s authority, Christian and the surprisingly enthused Thomas now find themselves at the mercy of Norwegian authorities who aren’t keen on having the gaggle running wild on their soil without absolute guarantees they’re not bird flu free. So when, after 10 days of cooling their heels frustration finally gets the better of Christian, Thomas is forced to take drastic action to prevent their brood being impounded.
