    "My" robin is on heavy duty relay between getting worms, insects, my offerings, etc. Constantly. Non-stop.
    I don't try to know where the nest might be. Haven't seen him feeding a female for at least a week now. That frequently took place near my bedroom window. (I put crumbly homemade suet mix out for him there.)

    I've been doing some raking in the garden and he is ON TOP OF IT (!) taking lots of goodies, and then right back within a minute.
    Soooo, I'm thinking that at the very least, herself is sitting on eggs?
    Anyone making similar observations?

    I saw a fledgling blackbird hopping about this morning in north inner city Dublin. I thought that was early.

    A lot of blackbird fledglings about now alright.

    Regarding robins, they are far more discreet at nesting time. Holding territories and making plenty of noise all year, not a sight of one in the garden in the last two weeks.
