Builders blocked by birds

A family of squatters has halted work on a Littleborough house. The family comprises of a couple of blackbirds and their five hungry fledglings.

The builder quipped "we've got 18,000 riding on this house and no union labour but we've still been blocked".

The birds should soon quit the nest. Chicks stay for 14 to 16 days and once they leave they don't come back.
