Feathering the nest

Spring is a busy time for birds. After working to attract a mate, they must build a safe, warm nest in which to lay their eggs and raise their chicks. This pretty wreath is handmade from duck down feathers, organic horsehair and farm straw, providing plentiful materials for foraging birds to help them in their task. Tits, robins, finches, starlings and sparrows will pull fronds from the garland, while wrens, dunnocks and jackdaws gather stray pieces from the ground.
