Private Lives: The Private Life of the Kingfisher

on BBC One London

A new wildlife film series.

A film that won awards in London, Montreal and Moscow. It depicts a year in the life of a pair of kingfishers on the Hampshire Test. The filming of the birds under water and inside their nest burrow is unique.
The kingfisher is the most brightly-coloured bird in Britain. It is found in almost every county in our kingdom, and is common on suitable water; and yet it was almost unknown until this film brought home the fascinating facets of its private life.
Written and produced by Jeffery Boswall.
