CHEEKY jackdaws have been helping themselves to a warm camel hair nest at Longleat.

The annual moult of the park's Bactrian camels provides the perfect opportunity for the enterprising corvids to feather their own nests.

The camels come from one of the harshest environments on earth, with freezing winters and blistering summers, so their incredibly thick winter coat is shed every spring.

Originally from the Gobi desert, Bactrian camels are becoming increasingly endangered in the wild - their main threats being poachers and wolves.
