On a wing and a prayer: Robin sets up nest on bookshelf in corner of church

Easter may be long gone but parishioners of a city church found a totally different kind of egg tucked away in a bookshelf just a few weeks later.

A friendly robin has hijacked the storage space in St Aldate's Church and turned the spot into a nest - successfully hatching three adorable chicks.

robin are such character, i remember last year their was one that would come inside the garden centre for warmth, and to steal food from the parrot that was their at the time. I think it came in when staff or shoppers went through the doors, quite amazing, the parrot wasn't even bothered about sharing it's new friend, it would even steal the food from the rabbits. Fancy that, a break from the harsh winter weather and a feast, quite the lucky robin. Haven't seen it in a while now though.

Lovely story Sweetpea! Of course the congregation would warm to Mrs Robin's presence. A little bit of innocence to remind us all how cynical we become.

I love your story too, Ryan. Smart little robin knew how to survive!
