Overview

A documentary film about the tidal flat ecosystem directed by ornithologist Shimomura Kenji. It is also said to be the original form of Japanese ecological documentary films. We took two years of long-term photography at Gyotoku Coast in Chiba Prefecture and Ariake Bay in Saga Prefecture, and carefully observed the ecology of tidal flat creatures such as crabs and muddy sparrows using telephoto lenses.
