Tawny Pipit (film)

Tawny Pipit is a British war film produced by Prestige Productions in 1944. 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.

Staying in the village, they enlist the locals to protect the nesting site until the eggs hatch. The villagers do so with great enthusiasm, led by the fiery retired Colonel BartonBarrington Bernard Miles and the Reverend Mr. Kingsley.Unfortunately, the field where the nest is located known locally as the pinfold is due to be ploughed up by order of the countys War Agricultural Executive Committee the War Ag, and a delegation to the Ministry of Agriculture in London fails to get the order rescinded. Fortunately, the Minister was BartonBarringtons fag at his public school, Marlborough, and personally intervenes to save the field from being ploughed. ........
