"Invisible Connections" is a wonderful photographic journey that follows the migration of shorebirds flying from their breeding grounds in the Arctic through East Asia to Australasia.

Description:

The Book profiles the particular importance of the Yellow Sea as a critical staging site for migratory shorebirds in their annual north-south-north migrations. The East Asian-Australasian Flyway is used by millions of migratory shorebirds moving from Siberia and Alaska through East and South East Asia to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. The series of wonderful photographs and compelling words tell this remarkable story as a visual celebration of the epic journeys the birds make.
