A gravel nest is a simple outdoor nesting site created by birds to lay eggs and raise their young. It consists of a shallow depression in the ground lined with pebbles and small stones, providing a safe and secure spot for the eggs. Some bird species, like Killdeer and Lapwings, are known to build gravel nests.
