Local residents return to find unexpected new tenants
When Lions Bay residents Trevor Hoffmann and Bobo Zhao recently returned from a work trip, they were met by a unexpected group of gate crashers.
A window that had been left cracked open to offer a little air circulation while they were away proved to be an invitation to an uninvited visitor with homemaking plans of her own.
A nest, complete with four perfectly positioned eggs, had been neatly constructed just inside the window.
Over the following days, Mama Robin assiduously tended her four-pack, keeping things cozy.
And then, just in time for Mother's Day...
All four babies appear to be doing well, keeping Mama busy with their demanding appetites.
