In this broadcast the following points will be dealt with : the return of the swift and swallows ; their preparations for nest building and the rearing of the young; and the return of the cuckoo, and some curious facts about this bird, such as its habit of laying eggs in other birds' nests. In addition, Mr. Gaddum will talk about the return of the nightingale and about its family life.
Teachers will find it helpful to have illustrations of a swallow, swift, cuckoo, and nightingale, to show their classes.
