Robins Nest

A robin tried building a nest in the corner of the green house all day yesterday. It must have been frustrated when it didn't seem to get anywhere thanks to our constant throwing away of it's building materials.

This morning we noticed a big beautiful nest in the corner of a rafter. The robin was perched in a tree, no doubt admiring it's handiwork. It got quite excited when Robert went outside, carefully dislodged the nest and placed it high off the ground on top of a fence post. The bird immediately set to work building another one in the same corner. Damn those birds and their instincts.

Home for a bird

The robin eventually gave up and flew off, probably looking for a nesting sight with more hospitable neigbours. Although I don't know why it doesn't like the perch on top of the fence post.
