Lost engagement ring found in bird's nest

A bride-to-be in Sheffield discovered her engagement ring in a magpie's nest, after believing it had been stolen or lost, the Telegraph reports.

Julia Boaler, 36, was unable to find her £5,000 platinum diamond engagement ring after taking it off to have a shower.

"I left it on the bathroom window ledge when I took a shower but it wasn't there when I returned. I thought it must have fallen in the bathroom or even fell out of the window but it was a complete mystery," she told the Telegraph.

"We ripped up the bathroom lino, pulled up floorboards… it was nowhere to be found. I tormented myself for months looking all over the house for it thinking that my mind must have been playing tricks on me."

Then, when fiance Justin was gardening he found the missing ring in a bird's nest, on the branches of an oak tree after months of frantic searching.

The couple intend to marry in the very near future.
