Birds’ nests

Dr Dave Leech from the British Trust for Ornithology is passionate about birds and how they build their homes in so many different ways. Just like people some birds spend more times on their homes than others. It is easy to spot birds homes when you are out in the countryside especially in winter when the trees are bare. He spends a lot of time studying nests and uses a wing mirror from a moped joined to a fishing net handle to be able to see into birds nests. Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be inside a bird’s nest? Have a listen to Dave and find out!
