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.
Our Robin is living the bachelor life now, only seeking us out for mealworms occasionally when we are in the garden, he takes 5 or 6 then is off for a while.
He is now moulting and looks a scruffy fellow with no tail feathers, on this visit he took 7 worms before heading off.
Best Wishes,
Trevor

Lot to learn
Our Bold Robin was last seen with no tail feathers and well into moulting and then we didn't see him for a couple of weeks.
He's now back sporting fine new tail feathers and smart new back and wing feathers, just his head and neck to go. Sadly he didn't sit at quite the right angle to show of the new tail feathers but he's as friendly as ever. He will come to our friends offering the worms(even their little children) but he's a lot more cautious, with us he's straight in with no hesitation.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
