At home in an ashtray
Even our wild birds, it seems, don’t like being under the 24-7 surveillance of CCTV. Unlike most human beings living in Britain, however, a couple of Great Tits have proven themselves willing to take action, and have chosen fag butts over the cameras: they have chosen to nest in a cigarette bin outside Vane Farm’s visitor centre in Kinross, Scotland. The farm has several CCTV cameras on nests around the site beaming images straight into the coffee shop but staff are unable to view this one family because the box is sealed up and made of metal.
