Hi I have a pair of beautiful very busy and nosey Robins who have built a fantastic nest nest in my shed which desperately needs replacing, trouble is is there are a few hatchlings in the nest, can I remove the nest and maybe build a box type shelf and put

Hi Steve, it is against wildlife laws to interfere with this nest in any way, it will not be long before these baby Robins will be developed enough to fledge, around 14 days, and it is highly unlikely that the adults will re-use the nest for their next brood, you could put up an open fronted nestbox nearby, somewhere sheltered not too high up and facing North or East! 

Hi Wendy, Thanks for the reply, I was never going to touch their nest until after they had fledged, I was wondering if they would re-use the nest after I moved it to a sheltered spot nearby, as it looks like they have spent a couple of seasons building it

 Thanks Steve 

Difficult to say for sure Steve, they never returned to my nest box a couple of years ago!
