For the second year running, blue tits have made a nest in the upright of a set of traffic lights at Lowood Bridge over the River Tweed. An adult bird is leaving the entrance hole after bringing food to the young birds in the nest. For a view of the traffic lights (the nest is in the pole of the lights on the right) see Image
