I've seen quite a few robins around blog land on cards at the moment, so I thought I would tell you about ours. we call him Spot because he has a white fluffy spot on his back about where his tail starts. He comes and sits on top of the hook that holds our window feeder and sings to us (or his own reflection). He is never aggressive towards his reflection, as I have heard stories of birds trying to fight their reflections thinking it is a rival. He will often sing whilst the female watches then nip to one of the other feeders, peck out a fat pellet and feed it to her.
Anyway, I've been trying for a couple of weeks to get a bit of decent footage on my camera and finally managed it! (You will need to crank up the volume to hear him)
We have been watching the birds a little more closely during lockdown and had some fabulous winter visitors. There was a little flock of longtailed tits,
and a small group of bramblings.
These seem to have moved on this month but we have our first lesser redpolls now!
