Tawny Pipit (1944) watch online

Tawny Pipit is a 1944 British comedy film directed by Bernard Miles and Charles Saunders and starring Miles, Rosamund John and Niall MacGinnis. It was written by Miles and Saunders and produced by Prestige Productions. It tells of how the residents of a small English village collaborate when the nest of a pair of rare tawny pipits is discovered there.

It is one of the first films to have a nature conservation theme: with one scene featuring a girl standing in front of a line of Covenanter tanks to prevent military training from disturbing the birds. Balanced against the conservation themes it also includes practices that have been made illegal since, such as collecting rare bird eggs.
