Guess the object
Post categories: Springwatch
|18:59 UK time, Tuesday, 7 June 2011
Can you guess the objects I'm holding in tonight's show? And then what bird is associated with them. If you can, post your answer below. Good luck!
Update 8 June: Congratulations to all of you who got it right: the object was a caddisfly larvae case and the bird in question was the dipper.
