Hi All,
We put up a Robin nestbox last year, noticed today a Robin in the garden collecting leaves, and flow to the direction of our nestbox,I have since been watching, a pleased to say they are building a nest, I am over the moon.
I hope anyone else who has put up a nestbox, maybe seeing activity as well, fingers x
Kind regards
Karen.
PS Will keep you all updated on the activity ;.)
Hi wabbit and welcome!
Great news about your robin nesting in your box.
I have had mine up for several years and no luck yet,have just moved it to a different position so maybe more luck this year!!
I have bluetits at the moment checking out the boxes for them so hopefully they should be used again this year.

It's not always easy to hug a hedgehog.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't.
Great news wabbit. I have had one up for 2 years with no takers so I'm extremely envious. Look forward to your updates

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for reply, sorry you have no luck, fingers x for this year, our nestbox is on a fence, but in with the Honey suckle bush, it gets hidden there once spring starts, so maybe that' s why they have pick it?
We also have a blue tit box, again had that several years, but no luck, they have a good look, but no takers, so maybe we will think about moving that one this year.
Hi Judim,
Thanks, I am lucky to be off work this week, so will be peeled to the kitchen window, watching for activity, will gladley keep you posted.
Fingers x for you this year.
Regards

I am so jealous of you guys. I have 2 robin boxes in my garden, but although I get plenty of Robins, they have never used my boxes. For that matter, I have never managed to find out where they nest. What am I doing wrong?
There are 9000 species of bird on earth. Let's keep it that way.

budgie , i think grow plenty of ivy is the answer they love it ,last year they nested, this time on the side of my garage and raised 2 broods from the same nest which was barely 3 ft from the deck ??is this usual robin behaviour ????
hi
good luck with your wobbins wabbit.
Way
a good laugh is better than a tonic
Thats a good tip chavfinch. I can only assume you don't get cats in your garden. I am sure a nest 3 foot off the ground in my garden would not survive.

Hi BUDGIE
Once saw a programme called Robin man who had a gift with Robins in his garden.
He always put a few dried leaves in the bottom of his boxes
