    Opened a box of what I thought was just litter in the barn, wasn't expecting something to fly out! Didn't catch a glimpse of what it was. Robin?
    I've left it all alone, please tell me it'll come back.

    Probably Robin. Quite a few of the small garden birds eggs are very similar in colouring.

    What a time to get squatters. No chance of getting an eviction order over the bank holiday weekend. IMG-20220414-WA0000.jpg

    Update.....4 of the 5 robins were born, all survived and flew the nest yesterday, still around the gaden tho, sussing out their own little territories.
    Ain't nature brilliant.
