JUST ONE SMALL REASON WHY WE NEED TO LEAVE AS SMALL A CARBON FOOTPRINT ON OUR PLANET AS POSSIBLE!!









Structural engineer in action
Whether you’re a ‘bird person’ or not, this is stunning!!!
Not to detract from the sheer magic of it, but in practical terms, how M A NY trips would a bird have to make with that tiny little quantity of mud/clay it could carry? (and how far from the nest is the source?)
If you take the construction of a “circular bowl” in your stride as instinctive – how the heck does the bird come up with the windbreak/entrance design that shields the eggs/chicks from the elements – and at what point in fashioning the bowl do they start to construct it?
