Strange but true . . .
A retired police officer told how a bird box which resembles a speed camera has helped to stop traffic speeding through his village.
Bill Angus, 64, attached the yellow box to a pole at the front of his property on the Sunderland Road, near Houghton-le-Spring in Durham.
He said the speed limit along the Sunderland Road was 30mph but motorists regularly raced along it at 70mph because there were no cameras in place.
