Small and colorful, the kingfisher is a very difficult bird to observe in Italy. Its sharp sight allows it to seek cover before being spotted. An amateur cameraman with the enthusiasm of a professional - and a great deal of patience - spent all his free time observing a pair of kingfishers build their nest beside a small stream on the outskirts of Genoa. This film is the result of three years of perseverance and shows their life, battles, courtship, fishing excursions, nest-digging, egg-laying and even the birth of their fledglings. It was filmed from nature in a nest built more then a meter underground.
