A Pro Patria presentation produced by British Instructional Films Ltd. Photographed by H.A. Gilbert and Arthur Brook.
Hungary: marshland. Long horned cattle. Men walking through a country lane. Pigs are rounded up by a man with a bugle. The marshland has been turned into a bird sanctuary. A great white heron is shown on its nest with its mate. Also featured are a family of storks, black glossy ibis and spoonbills.
A pair of naturalists load all their equipment into a small boat. The boat is seen being rowed through the marshlands through reeds. The men wear puttees as the water is full of leeches. One of the party tramples down some reeds in preparation for building a hide for the cameraman. Man wipes his face with a handkerchief.
Shot from the hide which is very close to a spoonbill's nest. There are also many glossy ibis close to the hide. A Marsh Harrier hawk is a threat to the birds. Good shots of the spoonbill around its nest and feeding. C/Us of its feet. Shot of the nest with two eggs then of the young birds. Bird preening, flying feeding the young etc. Crested herons are shown. Flying ibis and stork returning to its nest.
Naturalists returning as the sun sets on the water.
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
