During a winter morning on South Africa’s West Coast, I was surrounded by the strange calls of several birds hidden in the landscape.

I could hear them calling from different parts of this small area, but most of the time I could not see them.

So, what was making that extraordinary sound?

This short wildlife film brings you into that moment and reveals the bird behind these unusual calls.

Filmed on South Africa’s West Coast in August.
