Our colleagues at Â鶹Éç Broadcast Centre in London's White City have been in touch to tell us about a mother duck who's something of a media darling.
The mallard has laid a clutch of eggs in a large flowerpot on a fifth floor balcony at the Â鶹Éç's Media Village where programmes such as the One Show are recorded.
Intrigued office staff who had spotted the duck fluttering around a few weeks previously ventured out to find a nest containing around a dozen eggs perfectly positioned between the stalks of the low shrubs.

Here at Â鶹Éç Wales Nature that got us wondering whether any of you may have spotted nests in odd places.
