A keen bird watcher has captured tiny Mistle Thrush chicks nesting in a traffic light in Leeds, during the height of Storm Dennis.
A Mistle Thrush pair had settled down in the shelter of an amber light, as wind and rain lashed down around them.
Paul Wheatley, who tweets as @Leedsbirder, shot the footage of the tiny chicks as they called out for food. Their parents returned with some tasty worms.

"But they weren’t sufficiently badass to nest in front of the red light."
