A Busy Robin

A busy Robin
Flying to and fore
With twigs and straw
Is very busy 
Passes the patio door
So she went outside
Curious she searched
Outside to see why
She discovered why
A bird nest was made
In a dahlia plant
Hanging high on a
Hanging plant pot
A robin is smart
Building a nest high
To protect her young
In a hanging plant

Hello Caren, it amazes me where robins build their nest. She is still there with her babies. She was smart to build her nest into the hanging plant. Hugs.

Robins are such a delight, it's lovely to see them in our gardens. Wonder why the nest was abandoned, it was a perfect place....Delice

Hello Delice, Robin, yes robins are a delight, it is abounded during the day, yet she returns later in the day. Strange. She should be safe3 with her babies in a hanging plant. Enjoy your day my friend.
