It seems that Robins are a current theme. As well as the pair in the front garden, there
is also a pair in the back garden and a few weeks ago, they tested my
patience. They are usually quite sweet,
perching on a pergola until I have turned the soil over and then swooping down
for a ready prepared worm buffet. But a
while ago, one of them flew into the potting and it took me ages to get it
outside again and no sooner had I succeeded than the other one went straight
back in. This was repeated over a couple
of days so I had to remember to keep shutting the shed every time I went in for
something which was very inconvenient.
I could not understand what the attraction was in the shed
but I do now. Today when I was looking
for the Azalea feed, I found a perfectly formed nest containing a clutch of 6 creamy white
eggs, nestled between the Tomato feed and Potato fertiliser. I felt very sad and guilty. The couple had not been able to tend the nest
because I had kept shutting the door to keep them out! I hope
they managed to set up home somewhere else and that there is still time to
raise a family.
