A YEAR ON THE WING takes us on an astounding journey with over two million wading birds as they attempt their annual migration from their breeding grounds in Siberia to the Southern Pacific and back. We travel with the largest of all migratory wading birds, the Eastern Curlew and discover the wetlands and meet the people in locations from Siberia, Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand. Artists, storytellers, and ornithologists explain how people across the world have for centuries been inspired and intrigued by these shy and powerful creatures. www.abc.net.au/wing
