Another Nest!

As I was getting into my car in the garage this morning, a bird flew off from right by my ear. I had seen a bird in the garage the other day too, so I looked around to see where it had come from. The only obvious place was this basket, which has been hanging on a nail in the garage since before we bought the house.



On closer inspection I spotted five eggs inside. The mother was a Robin who I saw perching on the fridge freeze near the door into the garden. So now we have to keep the car in the road for a few weeks, because otherwise the cat will easily be able to pounce on the nest from the car roof. With the garage empty the basket is safely hung out of reach, and hopefully the cat will not even notice it.
