Welsh Warbler
I was surprised to see our resident robin start building a nest last Friday 11 February in an open fronted nest box in our Leylandi hedge. She continued adding material Saturday, had a rest on Sunday (weather wet all day) and continued today.
This robin is quite tame and will take dried mealworms from your hand. She raised 5 chicks last year but started much later - in April. The previous year she was unsuccessful, as her chicks were predated (Magpie I suspect) just after they had hatched. Again that was an April start.
Fingers crossed that she will be successful with this early attempt.
