The Mystery of Laguna Baja Embraced by dunes and fed by the surf of the Pacific lies a vast lagoon alive with creatures of the Mexican wild. To this marine oasis come grey whales. They pause at this most southerly extremity of the puzzlingly long journey from the Arctic. Around them feed birds that have fled from the northern winter to Baja, California.
Attractive to such travellers, and also home to a remarkable number of ospreys, as well as sea-lions, pelicans and peregrines, this desert lagoon is both enigma and living jewel. Narrator Barry Paine
