Tits Nesting in an Ashtray

A birdie at the 19th? The photo on the left shows a cigarette disposal box to the right of the Club's main entrance. The photo on the right is a close-up and you can clearly see a blue tit feeding its young. We had hoped to submit the photos to the BBC's Springwatch list of unusual nesting sites but discovered that a cricket club had reported a very similar story just two days earlier. We are pleased to report that the chicks all fledged and left the nest today.
