002 Young visitor whilst I was working.

Think he's a young Robin who was obviously hungry and waited patiently for some worms!

Just been to look, Pim. There were five eggs...four dead spiugs on the floor and one dead in the nest...

Why did they bother incubating them? :(

The weather you have had could be the reason. They may realise there was no hope of raising them..Cruel but that is nature.

Hope this young Robin survives with your help. I bet the Magpies have devasted the nest to feed their own youngsters.

Robins like worms and insects. Our robin comes for mealworms that I put down. Other birds are going around all the shrubs searching for insects.
The worm population has increased fourfold in our compost bin. The top cushion that keeps the heat in is a writhing mass of worms when we lift it up to put more compost in the bin.
