Bird’s car-azy nesting site

-

AN OYSTERCATC­HER has nested on Orkney’s busiest roundabout.

The bird, nicknamed Millie, is incubating three eggs as cars and lorries thunder by.

Local wildlife expert Martin Gray said: “Some birds will nest close to humans, even if it is a bit uncomforta­ble for them, because our presence keeps predators at bay.”
