Hilbre
2015, 14 minutes
Natural history short about a tidal island in northern England that is a haven for wildlife and local people alike.
Hilbre is the largest in a chain of three tidal islands that lie at the mouth of the Dee estuary, a rare outpost of wilderness in this heavily populated corner of England. It is home to a surprising range of wildlife and has become an important stopping off point for many migratory birds, as well as being a magical place of escape for local people.
