Robin Ceramic Teapot Nester - Primrose

The robin is justifiably one of my favourite birds, the way they follow us around the garden waiting for us to turn over worms, seeds and insects truly makes them the gardener’s companion. They can become so brave that they will eat from your hand. I love their song too, robins sing all year round but particularly loudly when they are holding territories. I imagine the ceramic material with remain cool in the hot sun while providing enough shelter from the wind and rain.I mounted a little ceramic teapot nester in the ivy outside my conservatory. It had been there about three years, with nothing taking any interest. In Feb, I noticed that there was moss in there and, on closer examination, realised that there was an almost complete nest in there! I was pretty sure it was a robin and a trail cam confirmed this. I then set up a camera and gradually moved it closer and closer, ensuring it did not disturb her building. It is a beautiful nest and a lovely image on the camera. When allowing ivy or plants to grow up and around the bird box, a little cover can be vital for obscuring the Robin's nesting area from predators and people.
