Hello,

My friends and I have been digging a hole in the woods to build a treehouse, and whilst we were digging yesterday we found a bird’s nest completely buried underground with no apparent way in at a depth of about 1.15 metres. We thought it might be a reptile, but because of the feathers around it, we concluded it was a bird’s nest. How is it that there is a buried bird’s nest, and what species does it belong to?

Just in case, I live not far from Paris in France. I took a few photos; I hope I haven’t disturbed the nest too much – I’m no expert. Thanks in advance!

Salutations,

avec mes amis nous avons creusé un trou pour en faire une cabane en forêt et nous avons découvert un nid d'oiseau enterré sous terre. A quel espèce appartient t'il et comment ce fait il qu'il soit sous terre a environ 1m15 de profondeur?
