Bold Robin 2022

Since March last year we've had a tame Robin take meal worms from us in the garden and he's been through a long story with us. Finding a partner, raising two lots of children, moulting etc.

If anybody missed it the whole story is on the link below.

This is our tame Robin coming for his favourite live mealworms.

In January he started to be accompanied by another Robin.

She would come down for worms if I put some down and stood back a little way and is gradually getting bolder but not quite taking them from the hand yet.

Now the male has started to feed the female regularly and set me the challenge of capturing the hand over. Mostly she's just in the hedge so I can't get a side on shot and he's in the way of the moment of passing the worm most times.

When not taking worms he's often in a tree just the other side of our hedge singing.

This morning I put the tub of worms down and he fed her straight from the tub, he gives her up to 6 worms at a time taking the odd one for himself.

Hopefully other interesting year will unfold for our Robins.

Best Wishes,

Trevor
