A short reel about the birds I've seen in mid January in New Mills, and finally, after years of trying, I managed to get the Kingfisher flying up the waterfall.

The UK’s tiniest bird, with a punk hairstyle.
I was just trying to edit some video footage of a Kingfisher wiht an absolute monster of a fish, so I could upload it to instagram. It was the first time I had used iMovie on the Macbook, and it sort of took over, and I kept having to add more and more parts to some weird script. Anyway, here it is. A completely over the top Movie Trailer.
Made using iMovie and iMovie music.
On a cold wintry morning, I went looking to get some photos and footage of Mrs Kingfisher whilst the morning light was better than it had been.
Will I see Mrs Kingfisher? Could I get any decent footage? Would it be automatically a good day?

I made this video to submit to Winterwatch, for which it had to be shot on mobile phone footage. It is about my 9 year old’s quest to get his first photo of a Kingfisher.
