Wink Nesting blue tits stop tank restoration work

Restoration work on a British tank has had to stop after a pair of blue tits made a nest in the barrel of its gun.

Charlie Wright, 47, an instructor at a tank driving experience business, said he discovered the nest 3ft (91cm) down the gun on Sunday.

The FV433 Abbot self-propelled gun, based at Measham Lodge Farm, in Leicestershire, is the company's best vehicle, said Mr Wright.

He said: "We're stuffed until the chicks have gone but it's a chuckle."

Mr Wright added: "One of our prized vehicles is off the road for three or four weeks but we're all bird and animal lovers so we'll have to wait."

The tanks were used by the British Army between 1965 and 1995.
