The friendly robin

Every garden has one - a robin that stalks you whenever you're digging soil or raking leaves, its sharp eyes ready to spot the faintest wiggle of a worm or the scurrying of a bug. Today, this one sat on a twig watching as I picked apples. I put out some morsels from a bag of 'robin food' and after eyeing it for a short time, it flew down and helped itself.

Wow Lorna. Your robins look pretty different from ours. Ours are bigger, I think... and the red coloring covers a longer area of the underside of the body. Do a google image search for "north American robins" and see what comes up? You should get photos of some that way. I didn't really notice your robins when we were over there, but we were busy focusing on a lot of other things. I remember hearing doves cooing early in the mornings though, outside some of the hotels we stayed in.
