Heinz Sielmann

[imagel]http://www.hoegl.net/20thCentury/memories/Sielmann.jpg[/imagel]In 1955, Heinz Sielmann, who has died aged 89, achieved overnight fame with the broadcast of an unexpectedly successful nature film. Unexpected, because its subject was not any of the usual stars of wildlife television, but a portrait of some of Europe's most elusive birds, the woodpecker. Despite going on to make a wide range of wildlife films, one of which won an Oscar, Sielmann was known for ever afterwards as "Mr Woodpecker".

Heinz Sielmann, wildlife photographer and filmmaker, born June 2 1917; died October 6 2006.
