Robin's nest

Hector Holmes · 2011-02-25 14:10:05

I went to my garden shed to start doing a bit of spring tidying and found that a Robin had built a nest on top of spades, rakes etc. Good excuse for laziness but I was wondering: 1. could/should I move the nest? 2. When could I expect to see eggs, chicks etc?

Hector; Yeppers, Robins are nesting. As are Blackbirds ~ who'll also get in ye sheds. We even have Ravens with eggs. It's all go for another season

I shouldn't try moving that nest, if I were you. Where ye going to put it? Not to mention that it may break up if ye try.

Assuming it's lined, and the birds responsible are still around? There could be laying any day now.

Why not decide to give them a week and see what happens?
