We have had two little robins nesting in a bush in our garden. Mum was sitting quite comfortably on her eggs (we think), she didn't go out much. |

Cats, squirrels, magpies, crows. They are all killers of small birds. |

How sad, maybe Mum and Dad escaped. I hope so and if they did, that they will try again. |

We have lots of tits and other small birds in the garden and there are hedges at the end of each garden, different ones, holly, conifer, berberis, privet etc so lots birds nesting safely I hope. Somd of the hedges are 6' high or more. |

Nest boxes. I had a teapot without a lid. Instead of chucking it out, I drilled a hole in the base and screwed it, spout downwards, among the ivy on the fence. Sadly, every time a bird has nested in it, something has got at it. I have moved it into a less accessible place and hope for the best. |

Oh I hope the teapot will give a secure home to a pair of robins or other small birds very soon. |

One bird that is plentiful in many parts is the robin. If you were ever digging in the garden, the robin would soon appear looking for worms. |

I have heard or read that story before, Dermot. We have robins visit our garden but not sure where they are nesting, there is a lot of choice along the edge of the field at the end of our gardens. |
