A couple of chubby robins on yesterdays walk. One braving the moorland elements and one in woodland. Both were paired up with partners which seems to be the case for a lot at the moment.

Great photo's Bob. I do like to find a robin, almost always happy to pose...

Ta Snappy. Yes, both were happy to come within a few feet which always helps

I have been slow to notice but I'm sure there is a Robin's nest about 4 feet away from the site of the blackbirds. Both parents have been vey active all day bringing goodies to the nestlings. I am convinced some are ready to fledge.

Sounds good Jack, nice to have in the garden.

Fab news Jack... you have the magic of avian fertility in your garden

The parent birds worked for about an hour taking it in turns trying to tempt the nestlings out into the nearby plum tree. I did not see any fledge.
