Had a walk round my local lake yesterday and cam across a Robin on a busy track with lots of people walking passed on a busy day and cars and tractors anyway it came out and was looking friendly so me being me started to talk to it and said I was sorry for not having any food with me but it was so friendly I had to call up again today and I found it in the same place but this time I had seed and home made pastry with me I held out my hand and it came down but just grabbed something so I started to talk to it and it came back and stayed on my have eating some of the small seeds it came four times so knowing it was full I put some food on the ground and left, I will be going back as often as I can but with live mealworm as well, I will take some pictures and a video if it lets me :)
There are still people feeding them Gaynor, I am the admin of two groups on Fbook and one is about Leighton Moss I took it over from a friend who went often but has move and its just to far for him to travel so I know whats about and whats closed.
This was taken last November.

Robyn, if you get live mealworms they will love you forever just get them used to you being around while they eat them you can start off from the bowl but once any other bird know about them they won't last long you could throw a couple on the ground when they are around and once they know you are no threat to them they might just come to your hand, don't rush them stand near to the bowl and hold your hand out with the mealworms or Robin seed you will see if they look interested, if you want an address for the live mealworms look up Live food Direct order before 12:00am and they will be on your door step in the morning :)

Get the Regular size and its upto you how many you want a small amount at first keep them in a cool place that won't be hard to find and let them have air and for food get some Weetabix the cheaper the better.
