Sorry another video clip - but can someone tell me what might be happening here - the female robin seems very curious about what's in the bottom of the nest all of a sudden today.
She keeps making chirruping noises and looking intently down into the nest and seems to be picking up stuff with her beak.
Might this be an egg or two that have hatched and she's eating the shell(s)?
Or are there ants crawling about down there?
Any ideas?
Relevant moments from today roughly cut together - in fact toward the end of this sequence around 2 mins there's a bit where she definitely has a bug in her beak and seems to be feeding it to something under her?:
