Robin reuse nest?

[mrbright]

I have a robin building a nest in my seedtrays in my little shed built on to my house, can someone tell me if they will reuse this nest? Because i dont want to move it if there is a chance they will use it again.

The answer to your question is yes, i had a robin use the same nest in my storeroom two years running, she would have nested there last year but for the fact something toppled into the nest when robin must have disturbed it.

i saw the robin go in with a beak full of nesting materials and then shortly after came back out still with beak full and flew off, that was when i investigated and found the problem.
