A man in a Nottinghamshire village has painted his birdbox to resemble a speed camera to try and slow down passing drivers. Neil Mallinson, who volunteers with the Speed Watch group in Sutton Cum Lound, says that cars are "constantly" speeding down Town Street.
Although believing that more official measures are necessary, 50-year-old Mr Mallinson thinks that painting the birdbox will make a difference for now, reports Lincolnshire Live. He said: "I really wanted to raise the volume about the subject - that's what propelled me to do something like this [painting his birdbox].
"We've received a load of Facebook comments about it and a lot of people have spoken about it. There is an attention and we want to see something done about it."
