6 February 2007: Early Birds

Bird experts in the UK are "lost for words" over the success of four baby birds who hatched two months ahead of schedule.

The mother Robin laid her eggs in a Christmas decoration on the door of a flat in London, at the start of the year. Robins don't normally mate in the UK until February.

Four of the five eggs hatched successfully on January 23, stunning experts. The four chicks are expected to fly within days.
