RSPB's Jim Nisbet, of Burnside, found robin chicks in his golf bag A golfer discovered a robin and her chicks hatching in his old club bag. Jim Nisbet discovered the bird had made the unconventional nest in the bag in his garage in South Lanarkshire. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) member left the nest undisturbed for several weeks before the bag came home to a brood of five robin chicks. Mr Nisbet, of Burnside, said: "Over the last few years a robin has visited the garage and nested, but this year the choice of my spare golf bag was a rather unexpected site. Once I had found the nest complete with the robin and discovered that there were five eggs, I tried not to disturb but took the chance of getting some photos. It was quite rewarding to follow the progress from the nest building through to the hatching of the eggs and then the developing chicks. I am anticipating the robin's presence, as usual, when some gardening is being done and we reveal some food in the form of worms. I hope the golf clubs will help to produce some birdies on the golf course too. The RSPB said that robins are known for sometimes choosing unusual nesting sites, with members previously reporting finding them on abandoned bicycles, tool boxes and kitchen shelves. Leianna Padgett, of the RSPB Scotland, added: "Robins can be inventive when it comes to building a nest, occasionally forgoing the conventional nest box for a safe and snug site elsewhere. Providing birds and other garden wildlife with shelter to raise their young, as well as food and water, is a fantastic way to give nature a home on your doorstep.
