Hit a bird with car

Got to blessington 40-45 km's away, got out of the car, and there she was, stunned but not injured. Woke up started walking around and then fluttered away up into a tree.

The area of forest I was in is rotten with robins, but I've not noticed any other bird life. Will she be okay there? Or have I removed her from some sort of nest / food store/supply?

If there are robins then there are other birds. She'll be fine. Unlikely to have been nesting yet.

Remarkable!
