Nesting Robin update and other stuff

Sad end to Robin's tale. Sometime during a 3 hour absence I got back to see that the nest had been disturbed and all 3 eggs, gone. Suspect a Crow or some other bird large enough to swallow the eggs whole leaving no trace.

Otherwise here is a new cllection of pictures:

Kestrel re-visited

Lady-slipper Orchids

Seems to have developed an appetite for rocks? Likely after salt residue from winter road maintenance
