We found this Scarlet Robin lass hard at work on preparing for the next generation.
Normally I don’t pubish small bird nesting cycles (Willie Wagtails being a notable exception).
You’ll note there is no photo of the nest location, and I’m pretty confident that no one is going to stumble over its location.
Only spotted her as she darted from one side of a small clearing to another. And after standing still for awhile, it was obvious she was hard at work on her little home.
The male flew in a couple of times to see how things were progressing.
In the end, I walked away thrilled to have watched the process and ever so hopeful that she would be successful, both for the species and because of her hard work paying off.
Enjoy

What adorable photos David !
What a wonderful gift to behold.
Such beautiful captures of the busy little mites sourcing materials for nest construction. Yes it is constantly amazing to me what they can carry and actually perform with one beak, and the resilience and determination they share as a great encouragement to us all. How lovely to see this bird again as we never see it here, and have to head south to see it. My wife will love seeing these photos when she returns home from work, she also partially shares its name.
