Robin building a nest

Of all the places she could think of, the robin decided to build its nest above the mailbox. It is the female that builds the nest 🪹 

The male may stay nearby and sing or defend the territory but does not help with nest-building.

Now as shabby as it might look to you or anyone visiting or delivering mail, we decided not to disrupt the robin's plan.

 

They say, the best time to install a camera is during the nest-building stage as it allows the bird to get used to the camera. Robins are more likely to abandon a nest if disturbed after eggs are laid.
So while the robin was away, I very quickly fixed a camera, and disappeared from the scene! 😀
