The eagle-eyed bird catches the worm in another tricky new puzzle. 

People across the nation are being tasked with finding the earthworm hidden among the feathered flock in this baffling brainteaser. 

It was created to mark the launch of new website Nest Friends, which helps parents teach children about the variety of birds there are across the UK. 

Each British breed has been turned into a bright, bold character with simplified markings to enable children to easily identify them – but that doesn’t make it any easier to find the pesky worm. 

On average it takes users 30 seconds to find the invertebrate – so, can you beat the record?

Rick Oliver, 35, from Kings Hill in Kent, came up with the idea for the website at the start of lockdown. 

He said: ‘Nest Friends is a fun, educational online resource for parents of young children to help them learn about the birds they may see in their gardens, on walks, or out of the window.

‘I created it as a way of keeping young children entertained during the lockdown measures that have been put in place.’
