These coastal sea defences provide protection against the relentless power of the ocean while creating a unique habitat for various species. In Vansittart Bay, Kimberley, Western Australia, adult mudskippers of the Oxudercinae subfamily can be found burrowing into the rich mud flats. These fascinating creatures have adapted to their environment by developing lungs that allow them to breathe air when out of water. Meanwhile, another adult mudskipper from the same subfamily gracefully navigates across the vast expanse of Vansittart Bay's mud flats. Its ability to move effortlessly between land and water is truly remarkable. Over at The Wash in Norfolk, England, a flock of Knots takes flight in mesmerizing patterns above their beloved mudflat habitat. Their synchronized movements create an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of swirling tides. At Morston Quay in Norfolk, rowing boats and sailing dinghies rest on dry land during low tide. The exposed muddy terrain reveals itself as a temporary pause before these vessels once again set sail on open waters. Australia's iconic Brolga Crane stands tall amidst its natural surroundings. This elegant bird finds solace on muddy landscapes where it can display its majestic dance moves and grace us with its presence.

Its presence is a testament to the rich biodiversity found in these unique habitats.
