      Oh thanks 😊 it’s been an incredible 7 years project to get to this stage where I can film such amazing moments in the kingfisher’s life

      Thank you for your footage.
      Watching Australian wood duck chicks leave their nest is a real leap of faith for them.
      (They fly like parachutes)

    So fantastically cute how dad encourages his brood to come out and play. Love it. Such an amazing moment caught on film…for viewers. Thank you so much.

      Oh thanks It’s been a long journey to get to this stage I built the artificial bank for them in 2017 and have been adding and altering it since but it’s all come together this year with so many different camera angles to tell there story, which will be coming in full in 2024 😃

    This is so special and wonderful! I live by a pond and see and hear the Kingfishers everyday, but have never seen their nest. I will look harder after seeing this sweet little film. So interesting how the father repeatedly entices the kids to come out of the safety of the nest. Hunger wins out.

    How precious! We see kingfishers occasionally near the river in the UK (if we're lucky) but I had no idea of their lives and behaviours. Nature is a lot more smart than we've given it credit for! Thanks for sharing.

      I have spent 7 months this year and last year filming them some days spending upto 19 hours in the hide but every moment was worth the results, I will never take them for granted and always get that little rush of excitement when I see them 😊
      Next year I will be ready to tell there full story
