THIS blue tit has laid seven eggs in the nest its built in a flower pot in Marion Reading's garden.

The nest is made from odd bits of material the bird has grabbed from the area around the garden in Beaumont Grove, Taunton.

Mrs Reading said: "It's been coming back with the material for the last two weeks and has now laid the eggs.

"I'm always going out shooing cats away and check on the bird every morning and every night.

"I'll be on duty with a water pistol when the chicks hatch!"
