In My Garden 2023

Love all the Robin photos. I also have never seen one eat an apple.

Do you remember the wee young Robin, who eventually came to eat from my hand for a few days? Well, he dissappeard only a few days after. I now have another who I am trying it with. He will fly in when he hears me and when I shake the wee pot of suet pieces. He will land on the bunker top now, with me there and quickly retreat to the bushes to ear his treat, will keep at it.

Thanks all....was lo lovely to see the Robins eat the apple as usually the blakbirds claimed  them...even a bluetit had a munch

Good luck with training the new Robin CL ;-)

I've tried feeding apples a few times, with no success at all ...

I've noticed they find it hard to bite..... being fruit

Try chopped apple, and if possible, let them ferment a bit. Chopped to smaller bite size and fermenting will make them soft. It seems to work here.

Worry now over ....my gorgeous girl showed up tonight...perhaps she just didn't have the right attire for the snow lol

Looks to be in good condition Linda. Lovely photo.

She sure is William...haven't seen her for 4 of 5 days now so I was getting very worried...delighted she's back for her chicken

Aw, great she has made an appearance, worry over.

Worse than having children, always a worry, especially with the high risk of roadkill.....  

Joking aside, our foxes seem to go quiet when the weather is particularly wet.
