Recognise him?

This chap is well known at Middleton Lakes. Quite the charmer, and a bottomless pit for mealworms...

You can usually find him perched near the bridge as you head out the woodland towards the canal - say hello next time you're here.

Mealworms are a great way to help your own robins, as well as wrens, blackbirds, starlings, house sparrows, song thrushes, and other garden visitors. The RSPB shop offers an excellent 2.5 litre tub for only £7, which should keep them happy for some time!
