Pesky Robins....just because it's almost Christmas they always seem to want to get in on the act when I'm out taking photos.!! Perhaps you could help me identify the original intended targets before the Robins muscled their way into the photos? As always though, it's just for fun, so please feel free to give it a go. :-)

Without wanting to give too much away, I think that I can safely say with a small amount of confidence that this may not actually be the correct answer for number 1. It’s the wrong time of year for them.!! :-)
LOL Paul, of course if you say it with an Aussie accent it could almost be believable. I blame my laptop, this is the first time this morning I have been able to get on to any programme, so last night I must have been also feeling frivolous.:-)

1. Barnacle Goose
