My new best friend

[CotswoldLass]

Must be settling in here.......

OH mended an old bird table that was here already, and the birds now know where it is and what's on the menu.

Of course while we've been digging the resident Robin's been looking interested, but just now he came and sat right by me.

I used to have a Robin come and sit on my spade at the old house, so it's lovely to have a new best friend!

I've got a robin too!  They are lovely aren't they?  I have one nesting in my ivy at home and feel very priveleged indeed  :)

Now its really home CL.

Sounds like you have more than settled in CL.

I did the lawn today and 2 robins hopped around grabbing all the wormies and grubs...and probably a fair bit of my grass seed!

Glad you are settling in CL.  Robins are great aren't they - I have a couple who follow me around when I am digging the garden.  Also have a friendly blackbird with a distinctive white mark on one of his wings.  He seems to have been around for years.  How long do they live I wonder :-\

I've also got a small robin friend up at the lotties, whom I call Featherball. He's got a bit of a gammy eye on one side, so is easy to identify, and he tends to do his rounds of the territory during the day, arriving at my plot about 4.30pm. If I've been digging or raking, he'll divebomb past, scare me doing so, pick up a few wrigglies and then hop onto a branch or the fork handle and sing his thanks. And he can really sing.

I've sat and just listened for ages.

I keep meaning to take my decent 'big' camera up in order to try and catch him, but I'd need a videocamera really to get the song too.

Me loves me little robin :)

Ahh.......Moonbells - Featherball sounds so sweet!
Pat your 'arriving dogs' remind me of my friend's labrador.

All set up for the birds now as reclaimed my hanging feeder at the weekend, so they now have a choice - 'sit down at table' or 'fly in fast food'! And I can watch them from the kitchen!

We've got a blackbird called Dropwing in our garden.  He's got a manky wing but has not problem flapping about and seeing offthe pidgeons from the birdbath.  The robin prefers next doors fruit cage to our plot.
