There I was at work clearing an area of ground and minding my own business when I noticed that I was not alone. There were two very beady eyes belonging to a young Robin looking at me and in the end I think the two beady eyes had me on a piece of string. See what you think.

Hello, this looks like an idiot!

Oih you, look how cute I am.

Thought I had him then.

Oh! at last but you could have found something smaller.

Still, if that’s all there is.

I suppose I’d better give it a go.

Hey stupid. It fights back.

But it’s not getting the better of me.

Fantastic photos Toto and great blog. What a lovely little fella. I'm surprised he didn't choke on such a huge worm. :o)

19 Jun, 2009

 

Thank you all. He was a lovely little chap. As for the size of the worm. Not only did he manage to finish it he then went on eating other little grubs and at least one spider.

Thanks everyone. I always keep my little camera with me just in case something nice turns up. It's great when a little bird is so confident around you and gives you the opportunity to take a few pics. All the credit must go to the little Robin, not me.

Brilliant photos and very entertaining blog.The young birds are so funny trying to make sense of the world around them arent they Toto! Watching a baby blackbird toying with a large worm today by the side of the pond.Tossed it around a few times then threw it in the water ! What an expression on its face as the worm disappeared from sight !!

20 Jun, 2009

 

I had no idea that's what baby robins looked like! If I'd seen one of these in my garden I wouldn't have known what it was! Lovely photos.

20 Jun, 2009

 

Thanks Sue,Lyn, Bonkers and Jan. I can just imagine your young blackbird Bonkers. I bet he won't lose the next one so easily.

Nice shots Toto! I wonder if you got your name from the band? It's one of my favourite bands, and I've just got a DVD and CD of them playing live in Amsterdam 2003. Brilliant!

7 Sep, 2009

 

Thanks Merfyn. I didn't get my name from the band but do agree with you about how good they are/were. Are they still performing?

7 Sep, 2009

 

Must be the dog from Wizard of Oz then! Which is where the band got their name from! I think they still perform from time to time, but I haven't heard of them recently!

8 Sep, 2009

 

Sorry Merfyn but still wrong.

8 Sep, 2009
