Hi I live in semi-rural Derbyshire UK. A pair of robins have made a nest in a nest box in my garden. The mum(?) has been sitting for a while being brought food by the dad then 3 days ago they were both back and forth with grubs and flies so I guessed the babies had hatched. Then after that really cold night on Sunday- hard frost in the morning- yesterday they’ve been around in the garden but have stopped visiting the nest. I guess the babies were too small to survive the cold which is really upsetting. My question is what should I do now? Do I empty the nest box? Will they build again if I do?Thanks in advance, Emma
