Birds steal skinnydippers' pants and socks to build nests

There's a couple of cheeky birds up in Scotland that are flying off with underwear left by skinnydippers on the banks of a river there.

Swimmers up in Angus, Scotland, have been left blushing after their smalls disappeared from the Scottish beauty spot.

However, a local gamekeeper has solved the mystery after he came across a red kite nest which was stuffed full of the items.

Dave Clement, head keeper at the Gannochy Estate, said: "What was really interesting was to see socks and underwear from a popular swimming spot actually in the nest and the surrounding trees.

"It was like the kites were cleaning up the glen."

They've since been ringed and tagged. That's what you get for pilfering underwear....
