How to protect a robins nest

I think it has been suggested that cat owners keep their pets inside early morning and late evening when the birds are most active,other than a small bell collar on your cat I am not sure there is much you can do.

Hi Lharwood

That's good advice from Seaman, and there is more info about avoiding cat predation on the RSPB website Here

Plus there are a few advice pages on Cats and Garden birds Here

I would normally suggest you search for Cats in the search box, or Tags so that you can find lot's of previous threads and posts but the Community is very slow to load pages at the moment

There is a robins nest in a bush against our garden fence, I sit here daily watching them pick up twigs etc for their nest, but I have a very predatory cat. I'm not sure id be able to forgive her if she gets a hold of the nest which she will inevitably find a way, any suggestions how I can protect the nest from her? 

Thank you

 

In a similar thing with our Robin we have put some 2 inch mesh chicken netting round the nest area which still allows the Robin into the nest.
