Yesterday while I was out metal detecting in a sheep field I heard a noise and this wee guy was approaching before coming round and jumping onto my boots. Haven't been approached by a bird like that before, there was no fear whatsoever. Location was near colliston, Arbroath
Extraordinary!
What an amazing encounter; think its trying to persuade you to dig up the worms
I am guessing it's replicating what a robin would do, and quite possibly is feeding his young at the moment, so could do with a hand.....or boots....to flush out insects.
