There appear to be 2 robins that are resident in the garden and are seen several times a day. They are particularly cheeky if I am digging or raking in the garden, or even better still if I have the hose and am watering the lawn - that's very exciting for them as they know what that brings!
One seems to been the braver of the 2 and will be inches away supervising any gardening activity. Actually apparently waiting for me to get out of the way to see if I have unearthed a worm or two!
They sit in the trees and call loudly to each other if Sophie happens to be having a stroll round the garden, I reckon the loud calling is a warning as it gets quite loud and frantic. Sophie just thinks it's great as it's 'birdies'! One robin flew quite low by her one day - probably a warning shot across the bough and Sophie leapt up to try and catch it - forgetting she was on the end of an elastic leash - I looked like I was flying a cat kite! I'm sure it would have been funny if you were an observer. Needless to say Sophie hasn't tried that trick a second time!
I'm praying for snow as I just have to get a photo of the robins in snow - the braver one is a real poser so I have every chance of a really great photo. How lucky am I to have such gorgeous birds resident in my garden?
