Hi Guys

Doing some gardening on Friday and spotted a nest that Robins had been playing around no eggs. looked yesterday from a distance and no birds or eggs . This afternoon no birds but 3 small eggs in the nest I haven't seen the robins about do they not sit on the eggs all the time. We have made sure that we are not getting to close .

If everything goes ok how long before the family move out ? as we had planned to move the post / bird house we made 3 years ago to a higher location . ( thats now on the back burner until the family move on )
Thanks
Brian

Incubation (12-15 days) Fledge (further 12-15 days).

Just do me a favour and stop looking in the nest as it will disturb and put the parents off.
