Robin's Nest
Today checked on the Robin who was sitting on her nest and she abandoned it leaving one egg. I think that the other 2 eggs were taken and she decided to just leave the nest. Sad but it does happen and the egg left may be unfertile. I'll take another look later but the statistics on Robins hatching eggs and the survival of the fledglings is below 50%...so it goes. Robin's live up to 14 years and nest a couple of times a year. We will hope that she can do it again and have a family!
