      Try to minimise disturbance until the end of may or mid June if you can.

        Robins fledge within just a few weeks so they may fly fairly quickly. You shouldn't put bird seed in the nest as they can choke on it. Just let the parents bring their food.

        Robins are very human tolerant so you going in and out with the mower shouldn't bother them too much. Just leave the window open (of course) and let them do their own thing.

        Some years back we had robins nest in the top of a 50 litre compost bag in the greenhouse. They didn't seem all that bothered with us working in there but they didn't like us making much noise - we whispered to each other if we needed to say anything.
