Saw this little fellow hiding away today.
Gardening is the great leveller.

Super pic. Eric.  My Robins are all at war and dashing around claiming their territory.  Singing from the trees as well.   :D :D :D

What a great photo Eric. I wish they would visit my garden. Even the sparrows have gone elsewhere, haven't had to fill feeders for three days.Lorna

we have a 'resident' one, been around for 2 years now and we have quite a relationship - this year we had quite a problem with ants and flying ants and I threw them out of the kitchen door and the robin would swoop and catch them mid air and come back for more - we kept this up for quite awhile until it starting coming in the house looking for them itself - living in the country we have quite a lot of 'nature' coming in through our back door - the other night a field mouse walked in, didn't run, it walked as if to say "hmmm, looks good"  :)

Super pic, Eric.  I think I heard my robin singing yesterday but I couldn't spot him and like Lorna all my feeders remain full at the moment.  Still, there's plenty of natural food around at the moment and I know they'll be back when they are hungry.   :)

1st class that photo Eric, i just love the Robin, my chappie has been around and i feel really miserable because i cannot feed him, :'( we are selling the house.  The bluetits were also around this morning so we must not start to feed incase the new peeps do not continue to do so.  That info comes from RSPB. I can`t bear it they all know where the food table is. :'( I know we shall still be here at Christmas but the coldest months are then to follow for the birds, i don`t know if i shall be able to not feed them i am trying very hard not to.

add it into the conditions of sale ! and leave a bagful of birdy goodies on the kitchen sink with strict instructions for the winter !  a small price to pay for seeing their little faces light up.
