    Where to Watch

Fuss over feathers when a rare bird is spotted. Bernard Miles (co-writer and director). Hazel: Rosamund John. Jimmy: Niall MacGinnis. Kingsley: Christopher Steele. Nancy: Jean Gillie. Unusual tale entertainingly done.

For those of you without vast ornithological knowledge (shame on you), a tawny pipit is a slender little bird that always wags its tail. It's also rather rare, so when a nest of them is found in an English wheat field, the local community goes batty trying to protect them. Charmingly harmless.
