Dove builds nest in traffic light at Cuckoo Corner

A dove has built its nest in front of a red traffic light in Essex.

The bird moved into its new home at Cuckoo Corner in Southend, despite the lights having anti-bird spikes fitted.

The RSPB said the light would provide heat for the collared dove.

Frank Varga, RSPB officer, said: "It's happy and using the deterrent to support its nest, so well done."
