That winter, the apple tree nearby lost a branch, breaking the shed window and adding another line to the list of jobs I would never get around to. Facebook Twitter Pinterest A pair of robins got in through the shed’s broken window and raised this brood. Turning slowly round, I was met with the attentive but apparently unconcerned gaze of a brooding robin, who had decided that the new location and accessibility made the nest box suddenly desirable. The sitting bird received regular deliveries of insects from its mate, and seldom left the nest before the eggs hatched. For now, the nest box has been returned to an outdoor location, where it is sheltered but still accessible.
