The kingfisher chicks are huddled so tightly together, their eyes shut as they quietly chirrup for food, they don't notice when dad arrives with a fish for dinner. Watch what happens when he lets out a loud squawk to say it's here!

*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________

Kingfisher chicks

The kingfisher chicks are 12 days old in this clip and their feathers are beginning to grow through. They are so preoccupied with their quiet complaints they don't notice, even when dad arrives with a stickleback and passes it right under their beaks.

Common kingfisher

This is a common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), a species widespread in Europe.

Secret underground world

Kingfishers normally lay their eggs in underground nests, dug into muddy river banks using their long beaks. I made an artificial alternative, as close a replica to the bird's original design except with cameras hidden inside, to be able to watch this family.
