Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I have a pair of robins nesting in the passion flower. I was out digging most of today - and they followed me around - I thought I'd share a couple of pics to brighten your day... Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 the starlings were out splashing in shallows of my pond today - scared the life out of the tadpoles! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Fantastic photos Phil. I love robins. They're my favourite garden visitors. I'm sure they understand what you're saying to them. We've got a pair who come to see us every day and sit on the tree above the chicken run and sing to them. Lovely birds and the best singers in the bird world .

Martin B Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Phil, have you ever considered becoming a part-time wildlife photographer? You get some really great photos of animals in your garden, however I notice that you haven't updated your pond blog in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Amazing pics. We used to have a really tame robin at our old house that used to sit only a few feet away from our cats (maybe stupid rather then tame!). Since moving to a new build last year we get no wildlife in our garden. I do miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Fabulous pictures Phil I love Robins. An elderly neighbour of mine, whenever she saw a robin in her garden, thought it was the soul of her dead husband coming to pay her a visit. At her funeral guess what turned up...... A robin.

clare* Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Lovely pics I have seen a Robin popping in and out of some thick growing ivy at the bottom of my garden. My mean cat Tilly has been sat under it most of the afternoon watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robins turn up often at funerals - particularly (I find) at ashes-burials where the earth is only very recently dug-over. Families are enormously cheered by their presence, it really does lift the spirit. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The pictures are wonderful. You've captured them so well. Would I be able to email them to a friend of mine who absolutely loves robins? I wouldn't do it without your permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
