The Shy Robin

awww your wee robin, can see him grand Janette

Thanks Eileen took me a long time to get this photo lol

Fab Photo Janette :D

Dont stop trying Janette - takes a long time for them to stay in one place.
Ps they love meal worms and now is the best time of year to capture them as making territories so may well be a regular visitor.

Good picture.
He'll get bolder as winter progresses and birds become more hungry. :o)

Iv Been putting out a Robin mix bird Food that i mix with a cheaper kind & My Robin.Black Birds & Tits love it :) It seems 2 plez them all Janette ,The Starlings ,Pigeons ect get a diff mix chucked on the Lawn :)

~ I went into the garden to put food on the bird table and didn't see the robin until I was about to tip the seed~only a couple of feet away! he was a bit startled, and flew away~ will have to take the camera out!~
~A few weeks ago there was no seed and he sat there and scolded me~

Sweet...our robins leave in the winter...it's nice that yours stay.

Well done Janette

Thanks for all the nice comments and tips guys One day I will get a good photo of this little chap

My parents always used to have porridge for breakfast during the Winter and my Mum always scraped the pan out and put the waste on the lawn and the Robin was always waiting, same place, same time. Guess its about routine.

Might give this a go as well Dawnsaunt I have porridge some mornings ,on second thoughts the poor Robin wouldnt be able to fly, my porridge is very thick and lumpy lol

My mother would have us throw handfulls of uncooked dry oatmeal from the box out on top of the snow for the birds when I was little, that was the only bird feeing we ever did .

Might just give the uncooked porridge a go,sounds like an easier option CJ

I'm going to get some dried meal worms but we seem to have loads of magpies and they steal most things before the smaller birds get a look in. Dawn

I bought meal worms Dawn , didnt know that the magpies liked them ,thought only the Robin would eat them probably not getting enought to eat in my garden ,we get loads of magpies so they will probably getting in there first lol
