On the Trail by Day
This chapter reveals close-up views and descriptions of animals and birds as they forage, hunt or rest during the day. Extracts from the full-colour high definition video recordings show aspects of fight and flight. Remarkable freeze-frame sequences show how the grey wagtail catches a fly and aspects of the kingfisher in flight. The grey heron landing, walking, drinking and taking off shows close-up details of its plumage. The little-known secret of the kingfisher is revealed. Besides the wildlife activity, the river conditions, both in terms of weather and river level, provide another aspect of life on the river. |
