Hi there
Just took these pictures today while feeding my birds. I still have the friendly Mr Blackbird {from before}. The female Blackbird is a lot shyer and not easy to approach. She likes to sit in the Hawthron tree watching me through the windows of my patio door.
Mr Blackbird is his usual friendly self. The Collared Doves always come down in two's - they are in love. The Starlings love to play with their food. Raisens are great to throw about in the air
My friendly robin likes to steal the Mealworms when I am not looking - cheeky chap.
More pictures. Mr Blackbird loves his apples, and I threw them on the snow and he just loved them
My friendly Robin showing his best side. This was before he sneaked in to steal the Mealworms from the bowl on top of the wheelie bin - little cutie!!
Lovely pics Blackbird! I especially like the cheeky robin pinching the mealworms!! :-D

Lovely photos Blackbird.
I love your fat blackbird. He looks almost as fat as the one on my fence earlier.
Cheers, Linda.

Lovely pictures Kathy. I always worry how cold the birds' feet become. I have heard of ' Thieving Magpies' so is that a 'Robbing Robin.'
Thank you for your replies everyone
MarJus: Thank you. Mr Robbie is nearly sitting on my hand now. He sits really close to me on my window sill, and anywhere else to get my attention for his mealworms. Cutie-pie he is.
Sparrow: Mr Blackbird likes his food and he is now Mr Roly Poly Blackie instead. today, I think he was telling me off for not putting ourt the food quick enough. I soak the raisens and Mealworms so they are soft for the birds to eat. So Mr Blackbird has to be a little patient.
Brenda: Love the humour Brenda - need a laugh at the moment {smile}
The Robins name is Robbie so it rhymes well with Robbie the Robbing Robin LOL
Regards
Kathy and Dave
Great photos (and captions) Blackbird, thanks for sharing :o)
I did laugh at your cheeky chappy Robin, he's lovely! An obvious thief but lovely ;o)
The robin we had before (called Scarface as he'd got a huge scar) was ever so friendly.
Its nice when they trust us like this :o)
