Hi, we have robins nesting in a bird box on our fence. It is right by our lawn where the kids play so i am wondering if we can mow the lawn or will this upset the robins?
I don't want them to abandon the nest!
Any other advice would be greatt, thanks.
If the box is up high or it is well hidden, the robins should be fine. They will be used to the comings and goings about your house, also cutting the grass should not be a problem. I have had robins nest in the garden and either the push or ride on mower, which is noisier, bothered them. Leave the nest well alone, don't go poking in about it and hopefully you will see the babies later on in the year.
Sorry, I forgot to welcome you to the community, I am up in Caithness at the very top of Scotland.
