patsylabrador Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I've been watching a dear little robin for a few days. She sits on the bird table, relaxing and eating a bit. She looks exhausted, and appears to be resting. Today I saw two chicks near her. Just having a break I guess. I love this time of year with all the babies.

Sheilaz Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 How lovely, she must be glad of your bird table. I'm really enjoying the birdsong in our garden this year, at dawn and dusk, it's so cheery & active. As well as the regulars, we have several long tailed tits which are great to watch.

Redwing Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 There are so many babies about this year, most of them seem to be trapped in my greenhouse and unable to find the open door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Was on the phone earlier and was asked if I now owned a parrot The garden birds are so loud at the moment! We have blue tits and blackbirds nesting in the garden. The robin must be nesting close by, but not sure where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I looked out of the bathroom window the other day to see 2 sparrows mating on a branch just a couple of feet away. He hopped on twice, but at the third attempt she harrumphed and moved off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The dawn chorus here is deafening at the moment. No chance of a lie in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
