A BBC series of live broadcasts direct from a 'hide', Bird in the Nest brought to vivid and dramatic life the progress of various species from chick to adulthood, with cameras actually placed in each nest whether it be the Peregrine's eyrie, almost halfway up a cliff face, or the Swallow's nest in an old stone barn, In this lavishly illustrated, and fact-filled book Bill Oddie and Peter Holden present the behind-the-scenes stories of the venture.
