I’ve found a new love for robin’s that is almost verging on obssesive! This little beauty has been visiting our garden everyday for almost 3 weeks now. He waits patiently at the patio window in the morning for us to put some mealworms out, he even sits right on the wooden step with his beak pressed against the glass urging us to hurry up! Later in the afternoon he joins me up the top of the garden where I wrap parcels to send out, he sits ontop of the summer house singing me a merry little tune and often jumps down onto the table. He is a clever little Robin though, he knows that I will always bring him more mealworms in the afternoon and he is becoming one pampered little red breast.
I’ve always been very interested in animals and wildlife but I must admit that I am becoming rather fond of this little Robin and whenever I go into the garden I will always keep a look out for him.

Beautiful pictures Katie! What type of camera do you use? I need to think about updating from my old point and shoot model. Our robins don’t often stay the winter where we live (cold and too much snow) but two winters ago I was lucky and was able to take care of a hardy robin that decided to stay and visit my feeder every day. If I can find a picture I’ll send it along to your email.
Have a Merry Christmas, Mike
Thank you so much Mike,
I use a Canon DSLR, an old 450D model which has served me well throughout the years. I wouldn’t be without it or the macro lens!
I loved that little story about the Robin, they are such beautiful birds aren’t they? I must say I have taken this one under my wing too and look for it every morning 🙂
Meal worms a la carte AND meal worm soup. Spoiled birdie!
