This robin stays close to me while I'm working on my plot.

Lovely pics - esp the last one!
Nice fat healthy looking fella too!
Good photos! I saw ours whilst I was at the plot this morning but he came and went very quickly, and I don't blame him for not wanting to be out in the cold!
He's gorgeous. ;D

Great photos. How lucky are you?
reminds me of "The Secret Garden"- I loved Friday afternoons when our wonderful teacher used to read us the next chapter- no time for such things in schools now with all of the targets to meet, but it fed my love of reading.
They're fabulous photos.
Thanks for the lovely comments :)
Every time I go on the plot a robin suddenly appears, almost as though he's been waiting for me. I usually turn over some soil for him but I couldn't do that today because it was frozen. He stayed close to me while I was filling the wheelbarrow with horse manure and taking it back to a new compost heap so maybe there were a few worms there for him.

The Secret Garden is one of my favourites too. I might have to read it again now you've reminded me. :)

The fourth pic is great! He certainly seems to be a bird with character. :D
Wonderful photos Squash
And yes the 4th pic does scream "Robin with attitude" :D
Squash, what fantastic pictures, well done! I've always had trouble getting a good robin picture, I'm very jealous! ;D

This robin is not at all camera-shy, or people-shy if it comes to that. He comes so close to me that I could almost touch him.
Years ago there used to be a sparrow in my garden that would come onto my hand to eat.
