Synopsis
Filmed over 12 months in majestic widescreen, this stunning documentary captures the 4 seasons of life in the Coorong - a coastal Australian dune system that is home to over 250 species of birds. As the bleak months of autumn and winter give way to the breeding season of spring, a struggle for survival begins. From the deadly raptors that hunt the neighboring mainland, to the seabirds that breed on the myriad of islands, this is a fascinating study.
