RARE FOOTAGE Of Oriental Dwarf Kingfishers

Watch more bird documentaries here: https://youtu.be/fQo4kc4M6Ks The monsoon has returned to India's Western Ghats, and for the tiny Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, it signals the start of a life-or-death race. This bird, known for its incredible colours and deadly precision, only breeds when the rains have driven fish high upstream. Follow a single pair as they face the most brutal challenge in the jungle: raising a family. Watch their dramatic courtship rituals, their desperate two-foot nest-digging attempts in the riverbank, and the devastating moment the relentless, non-stop rain floods their first clutch of eggs. Their second attempt must succeed, but predators like the rat snake lurk, and the harsh environment tests the limits of their survival.
