Very well done, and as you probably know the third (last) image is something apart.

A pair of robins have decided to nest about 6ft from my bedroom window!

Just be careful when and how you move. Some birds will leave a nest in a twinkling. Others are very loyal, and most birds will stick to a nest after the young hatch. It's an evolutionary gamble thing: the probability of leaving viable offspring is better if you stick with one you have than if you abandoned it to bet on successfully raising young next year. Because the odds favor sticking to a youngster you have, the majority of birds will do that.

Thanks wpresto. I may have spoke too soon! They disappeared yesterday afternoon, were in the nest at 6am today, but I haven't seen them since. I had visions of cute baby shots too!

It might be they did not have eggs as yet, in which case they'd leave a nest that seemed vulnerable. Once eggs are laid, loyalty to the nest goes up, and once the young hatch, fidelity to that nest commonly takes a quantum leap. However as with all things in Nature, as I always told my students: There are exceptions to every rule, including this one.
