In other news guess what I found the other day, a Robins nest right by our drain pipe. At first I didn't think it was a Robin as British Robins are very different to American Robins. But Clayton assured me that it was a Robin so I researched it online. See the following links.. British Robins American Robins. Found out that the nest also has 3 eggs in it. Clayton took an amazing picture of the eggs, below are a few shots.

Robin Eggs.

I'm watching them everyday to see if they are hatched it takes about 2wks for them to hatch. I think they are about a week in, so I have to wait about another week. The male Robin is up on the branch near by, protecting the female and her nest. I don't want to disturb them to much, because I've heard if you disturb the mother quite a lot then she'll just leave the nest and won't come back. So I'm being careful, but it's just neat to watch.
