Please Help - Robins Nest

[KatherineS]

For the past few days we have had two robins collecting nesting materials from the garden and in front of the window. I thought they were nesting in my new Robin nest box but today found the nest in a cardboard box on the recycle bin. The robin was in it and flew out. Since then, it hasn't gone back to the box and I'm worried. Will we have scared them off?

Hello Katherine, welcome to WAB.

Very difficult to answer your question. I think you will have to wait and see. Robin are often very tolerant of humans close to the nest so, fingers crossed.
