The stool was well jammed in place and once set up it was stable as I don't fancy any more hospital experience at the moment.<br /><br />I am hoping Honey is curled up somewhere cosy and safe. She had plumped up well and eaten less the last couple of time she visited so may well have been slowing down. I still put a bit of food out, just in case. It soon gets cleared up by the birds first thing.<br /><br />Yes. I did see the newspaper. I was late in acknowledging it, sorry. Brilliantly creative as always ;)Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-77426504767000623522009-10-16T07:48:55.437+01:002009-10-16T07:48:55.437+01:00I hope so too Keith.I hope so too Keith.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-1183650339378842892009-10-16T07:48:28.700+01:002009-10-16T07:48:28.700+01:00Hi Joe.

I think Robins often like to find sheltered, secluded places to nest so I hope it is in the right sort of place.<br /><br />It would be great to share experiences.

It looks very inviting, like a little lodge in the trees. I have to second the idea of not taking chances on step stools... a few days ago one of our staff members was putting up autumn decorations in the library using a stool (she knew better!). She lost her balance and fell. We ended up having to call an ambulance ~ she had fractured some bone that cut off a vein carrying blood to her brain. She could be off work for up to 3 months! <br /><br />I think Honey is hibernating, don't you? She was getting quite plumpified. Did you happen to see the newspaper article I left as a comment for you a couple of days ago? ;)Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-45906717841549783612009-10-15T22:46:08.037+01:002009-10-15T22:46:08.037+01:00Let's hope you get some residents move in ther...Let's hope you get some residents move in there John.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-51678852527825185432009-10-15T21:52:04.304+01:002009-10-15T21:52:04.304+01:00Hi John,

We have never had any luck with a Robin nestbox, but yours looks to be in a very hidden place, so I reckon you've got a good chance. <br /><br />Maybe, if both of our camera boxes are occupied next spring, we can share experiences from our two bird families. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing how the events unfoldJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064008068263914875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-55468795560692707982009-10-15T18:59:43.577+01:002009-10-15T18:59:43.577+01:00I'm very impressed with the box and especially...I'm very impressed with the box and especially that it has a camera already installed.

It is in a different place to the last one in case the local Robin is fussy about location.<br /><br />There have already been squabbles about territory between a couple of Robins. One day it was like watching a Second World War aerial dog fight as they chased around the trees.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-58021605971656338292009-10-15T12:35:43.723+01:002009-10-15T12:35:43.723+01:00I'm glad you didn't fall off that stool Jo...I'm glad you didn't fall off that stool John!
