I haven't seen the robins recently.  The young one got into the house a few days back- in at the open back door-  and fluttered its way upstairs. I found it almost straight away- because it was peeping like a homing device- and helped it to an open window- but my fear is the shock may have killed it.  Birds are such delicate mechanisms.

Ah, I just caught a flutter of wings out of the corner of my eye- and there's the male robin sitting in the holly bush. Oh, good!

Otherwise I've noticed a tit hanging around - a great tit, I think- and this morning there were a couple of what I think were sparrows dodging into the shrubbery (only I didn't have my glasses on).

Birds really are delicate creatures. They can die of shock so easily.
:(
But if you didn't find a tiny body laying around perhaps it survived.
Though often, after nesting, they will move/expand their territory.

It would be good if that were the case.

Perhaps its invasion of the house was its first attempt to establish a territory of its own.

At least you don't have mooching blackbirds.

We've got a whole family hanging around now demanding fruity nibbles on tap...

We used to have blackbirds.

Perhaps they've gone on holiday...
