There is a Robin that regularly appears whenever I'm near my workshop where I fill the bird feeders and every now and then it takes a mealworm from the hand. This morning I managed some photos of the Robin taking a mealworm from my wife's hand The pictures are a bit grainy as it was early and the light was not good so had to use a very high ISO to get the shutter speed up high enough but pleased with the results none the less.
More fabulous photos Trevor, and I was fascinated with the pellet photos.

Our Robin is now definitely part of a couple, and he flies off with mealworms for his partner every time we feed him.
Sometimes she's quite close and sometimes a little way off, but always under cover in the hedge or under a bush with no intention of allowing a photo opportunity. I can see the hand-over through the hedge and mostly he seems to take the biggest mealworms for her, sometimes two at a time, and sits on my hand and mops up the smaller worms for himself.
Hello, do you like mealworms?
A quick pose for photo opportunity.
With the fine sunny weather recently I managed to get some much higher shutter speed action shots.
