Three short clips of the 'Propane Tank Robins'. Even if I had seen nothing else during my visit, these two (especially the female) would have been worth the journey. They are an absolute delight.

That second clip is great where you managed to capture the robin flying around to your hand to take the food!
I know from my own experience how difficult it can be to track them even for a still photo. :¬)
Thanks Jeff. I had the camera on a 'Gorillapod' which was attached to my arm, so I knew I wouldn't miss anything once she had landed. On the third clip, she got to my hand before I was ready and after a spot of hovering she grabbed a mealie and flew down to the ground.
Nice videos Paul, and that Gorillapod works thinking of getting one myself now :)
