SWMBO has banned me the kids and the dog from our garden as there is a robin and some blue tits nesting in it  8)

I always remember a photo I saw years ago of a robin nesting in an old serise smashed head light on a farm  :lol:

My parents had a nest high up in the tree outside their back door. |Thankfully the chicks have flown now as the slabs are just white underneath.

Sarah told me about a thread on a horse forum where the owner of a Land Rover had lifted the bonnet to find a nest, complete with baby blue tits beside the radiator. She had been using the vehicle every few days too  :shock: Now she feels she'll have to leave the LR standing until they leave the nest!
