The early bird...

A few days ago, this fledgling robin started appearing in the garden. He was much too tame, of course. He was really enjoying himself, perching on the handle of the fishing net and spade, splashing in the bird bath, hopping about on the decking... How long before a cat got him, we wondered, or even the sparrowhawk?

Well, I'm pleased to report that he is still alive and perfectly capable of fending for himself, as we discovered when we saw him pounce on this big, fat, juicy worm!
