AlfrescoWild Challenge

Building with Mud

Birds and insects often use soil and mud to help them build.... learn a bit more about how they do it and how you can have a go too!

I have a close look at a blackbird nest....

I try to build a house martin and a swallow nest.....

Watch the Challenge video to see what you have to do!

This video was produced as part of Earthwatch Europe’s Wild Days project – and you can access more videos and download activities and ideas about connecting to nature for free by visiting www.wild-days.org

If you decide to have a go at this challenge and make your own house martin or swallow nest, take some pictures or videos.
