Synopsis

BOBBY AND THE BANDED STILTS is a remarkable natural history story that has never been told. In early 1995, Cyclone Bobby grew from the Indian Ocean and hurled itself upon Australia, setting off a train of events culminating in thousands of Banded Stilts breeding, an event never before filmed.
