First robin chicks hatch from eggs laid on a motorbike

Webcam footage shows the robin feeding her hatchlings

Several robin eggs that were laid in a nest on a motorbike have hatched.

Architect Olly Brock spotted the nest after he went to use his bike one morning earlier this month.

Mr Brock said seeing the eggs hatch was "absolutely magical".

"The mother robin looked quite startled at what was happening underneath her and out came this tiny little thing," he said.

'Nature getting its own back'

Mr Brock said the robin chicks were "quite bizarre, they look like punk rockers".

"They've got spikey hair on their heads and beautiful little yellow beaks. And they're getting quite big already," he said.

Mr Brock, from Vale, swapped his Kawasaki Versys for walking to work or taking the bus so as not to disturb the tiny bird and her brood.

He set up a webcam to keep an eye on the nest, the live feed had visitors from around the world.

He said: "I was absolutely amazed to see we are literally all across the globe on it.

"Western Canada, all the way round to New Zealand and even Hong Kong"

Mr Brock put the interest down to people enjoying "nature getting its own back a little bit".
