Thought to be a 'mysterious bird' - 'the very spirit of good luck' - the Kingfisher has its secrets revealed in this remarkable and beautifully shot film.
From the first fragile moments of life in the underground chamber to the blue dart above the stream, the sheer brilliance of this spear fisherman is shown to be the true spectacle of Tennyson's 'secret splendour of the brook'.
