After putting some seed out on the back fence table we had 4 ....yes...4 robins all arrive together and I witnessed these 2 chest out,head back displaying their red breasts to put the other one off .
Eventually just one remained as the others cleared off,they tried again dinnertime today but it seems one particular Robin has seed rights and the others just dont get a look in.
Have never seen this style of aggressive display before,me and Jude were amazed.

Robins are one of the most belligerent birds. Now you've seen it in action. ;D
