Day Nineteen - Help in the Garden

Day Nineteen - Young Robin returns

 I had help in the garden today

The young robin we spotted last week is now a regular visitor to the bird feeders.  It has learnt to perch and eat from the hanging feeders as well as using the ground feeders.  I wonder where its parents are?  As they can produce two or three broods a year they are probably looking after a second brood and this little one has been taught to fend for itself.

It came quite close as I was clearing a patch of garden under an old buddleia tree and gave me such a look with its beady eye as I chatted to it.  It began to look for worms in the overturned soil.

It is quite a fearless creature but I'm not sure if that is good for it though as the grim reaper aka Sparrowhawk passes by this garden regularly.  Stay safe little robin.

  1. I met a rather fearless robin today too - a bit older than this one though. It's lovely to be able to be so close!

  2. Great shots Rosie. Fingers crossed the Sparrowhawk leaves the little chap alone.
