WORKERS at a North-East construction site have found that a dumper truck has become home to a family of birds.
The workers, at the Hobson Smith construction site, in Saltburn, east Cleveland, could not understand why a bird kept following their dumper truck, until they discovered a nest with half-a-dozen eggs, near the foot controls.
The truck is now out of bounds because the Rspca says it is illegal to disturb nesting birds.
John Cairns, of truck owner Pickering Plant, Middlesbrough, said yesterday: "It is quite an expensive Ritz for the birds, but we do not mind at all.
"It will be nice to see the birds flourishing.
