Well, for the moment the robins are still persevering - she's still on the nest, and male(s) is/are still feeding her.
She looks a lot more wary of the slightest rustle now though.
Just one cam clip showed a squirrel approaching from above (!), but it was smartly seen off by one of the robins (too blurry and quick to see - slowing down the video showed it was kind of bombarded by one of the birds).
All the other 200-odd clips from today show fairly peaceful nest sitting apart from that.
Fingers crossed, but I still can't help but feel it's only a matter of time before that squirrel succeeds.
Meanwhile on the BT side of things: that pair are still doing spring cleaning in the tree box - as if they've forgotten there's still a GT rooster to contend with. The GT showed up at bedtime as usual, but no sign of it on camera at any point during the day.
Oh well, we shall just have to see what happens!
