At various times earlier today viewers have been invited inside the nest of either a blue tit or great tit, where hidden cameras have been observing the comings and goings as they happen. This extended programme continues the vigil and looks back at the day's activity.
The idea was born several years ago with a programme called Wild Britain, according to producer Hilary Jeffkins: "It was studio-based, but with live location coverage of animals like hedgehogs in their natural environment.
"This week we have chosen five birds that people like and are familiar with - the most exotic is the kingfisher - and we've staked out the nesting sites with hidden cameras.
The live signals are relayed back to the "birdmobile"in Bristol, where Bill Oddie and the RSPB's Peter Holden are encamped to give expert comments. There'll be visits throughout each weekday with highlights each evening. Other nesting stars are the robin, swallow and kestrel.
Michelle learns about age concern and Gita calls Sanjay to account.

The work goes on and tonight's programme reports back on the progress of last year's campaign and the projects it helped to fund. Six comedians will deliver progress reports in unusual or ridiculous ways, including Julian Clary in a Rupert Bear hot-air balloon,
Jo Brand in a chocolate factory and Ruby Wax in front of a huge pile ofreadycash.
Interspersed with all this are edited highlights of last year's programme featuring Mr Bean on Blind Date, Victor Meldrew in the bath and an all-star rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.
