Product Description
A mayfly dances above honey-gold water in the evening sunshine; a kingfisher plunges into the sparkling depths to emerge with a struggling minnow in its orange beak; an otter slips silently through reeds; a family of moorhens paddles to its night-time lodgings. Here is the perfect, idyllic scene of a British river in summertime captured with love and astonishing skill by two of the leading wildlife filmmakers of our age.
Halcyon River Diaries was commissioned following the phenomenally successful and award-winning My Halcyon River an intimate portrait of a secret world along a river in Britain, where otters hunt on the midnight current, mink lie in wait to ambush unwary victims and gleaming kingfishers pierce the water to spear their prey. Deemed as one of the most beautiful films at the Wildscreen festival, 2004, My Halcyon River was the winner of the Kodak Cinematography Award.
Halcyon River Diaries is an evocative look at the wildlife of a typical English river, through the eyes of Philippa and Charlie's family, including their three young sons Fred, Gus and Arthur, who live beside it. Over the period of a year we experience life on the river following the same group of animal characters as they navigate the seasons, as well as seeing how Philippa and Charlie's passion for the river extends into every part of their family life.

Customer Reviews
A few days later I came across this book which seems to be promoted on the back of Philippa Forrester's TV fame and her enviable lifestyle by the river - however the books real strength is her husband's excellent advice on photographing wildlife (including otters). I found his guidance very informative. He freely divulges the hints and tips he has gained over many years watching wildlife. The photographs included in the book are stunning. This is an excellent book which combines some `Sunday supplement' type motivation to encourage readers to get out there and engage with nature with the clear practical advice needed to make cold, motionless nights spent by a river bank worthwhile.
The Halcyon River Diaries book is by the husband and wife duo Phillippa Forrester and Charlie Hamilton Jones. Read more
