ducks

This award-winning film portrays Canada’s indigenous Inuit community and its dependence on eider down, in the face of dwindling eider duck populations as a result of man-made development.

Emily O’Gorman examines the ways in which ducks as well as people negotiated the changing water landscapes of the Murrumbidgee River caused by the creation of rice paddies.

Deposits of coarse gravels which line the southern margin of the Tay Estuary entrance channel east of Tayport support a thriving population of mussels. Large numbers of Eider ducks, dependent on mussels for food, overwinter in this part of the estuary.
