A family of blue tits have been
wetting their beak at an Essex pub after they made its cigarette box their
home.
The two adults and four chicks
have taken up residence at The Alma pub in Copford for the past month.
The pub put up a sign asking
customers not to disturb the makeshift nest, and the birds remain there for
feeding.
Derek Miller, from the pub, said
regulars "find it quite funny that we've got some extra guests", and
are respecting the birds.
An RSPB spokesman said: "It
may look like an odd place to set up a home, but there's probably a quite a bit
of room in there to build a nice warm nest."
Mr Miller said the nest was
discovered when customers spotted one of the birds nipping in and out of the
bin prompting someone to look inside, where they found the four young chicks.
