Gordon Coward went to Lundy to study the hardiness of sheep as a student vet in 1947 and returned to film this travelogue with a Bolex cine camera given to him by his father. His wife Louisa appears in the film. They stayed at Manor Farm Hotel and Coward became resident photographer and vet and studied and filmed the birds and wildlife of the island such as gulls, puffins, cormorants, shags, kittiwakes, peregrine falcons, guillemots, razorbills, herring gulls and grey seals.
