About 10 years ago I saw a wildlife film about the New Forest. I don't know what it was called or what channel it was on. It had some great re-enacted scenes about Norman hunting and duck shooting and a gory sequence about the "butcher bird"? not sure what bird, but it kills other birds and hangs them up in bushes like larders or such like. The music was very medievil, really good. I'd love to see it again or even better GET A COPY!!!

Any information?
