Video Summary
AI GeneratedA male kingfisher courts a female by sharing his catch, leading to the creation of a nesting burrow. Meanwhile, a mother kingfisher named Doris incubates nine eggs, which remarkably coordinate their hatching through internal communication. Once hatched, the mother must independently guide her flightless young from the nest to survive.
To resume hunting, he can now afford to share his catch.
And one minnow at a time, he is winning her over.
After mating, the pair begin digging a metre-long burrow.
But it's only just above the waterline.
As Sarah mows, she leaves the verge intact
to prevent the river eroding the bank.
But if it rains heavily,
the kingfishers' family home could be washed away.
For four long weeks, all on her own,
Doris has barely left her nest.
She has been quietly incubating a clutch of nine eggs.
She laid each of them on a different day.
But to survive, they must hatch at the same time.
Remarkably, they talk to each other
from inside the egg.
And so, coordinate their hatching.
Over just a few hours,
nine new lives begin to appear.
But without a father to bring them food,
the mother must lead her flightless babies down from the nest.
