The Great Tits are back in their traffic cone and sitting on eight eggs that look as if they are made of chocolate.
The cone has moved to the other side of the farm road and the farmer found the nest when he moved the cone to cut the grass. Obviously the cone is now in a no-go area for machinery and animals. You could say the cone is coned-off.
It's a watching brief now to see when the eggs hatch; watch out for for further bulletins in 'Conewatch', the only rival to the BBC's Springwatch.
