26th January 2015 -  On Guard!! by pamknowler

26th January 2015 - On Guard!!

Here he is once again my lovely little robin who spends his time chasing other birds out of his garden. Daily he chases the Chaffinch and the Dunnock off - so funny to see them trying to get to the mealworms and he swoops in and they are off in a mad chase round the garden.

Yesterday after my hour of watching birds for the RSPB survey I spotted this little robin chasing another pair of robins out of the garden. This is the first time I have seen three robins in the garden but it didn't last for long as he saw them off!! I just love to watch him!! I think it's a him - I don't know for sure as I don't know how you can tell the difference.

Uploaded for my extras album.
Pam, you take such lovely bird photos. Just lovely!

Love his soft feathers! I don't know how to sex a robin either and always think of them as a 'he'!

Have you ever tried tying a decoy Robin to a branch, and watch how he/she behaves ?

Loving your Robin Pam, no I don't know how to tell males and females apart either, we have three too that squabble around , my favourite and most tame is the round one but there there is a taller slimmer model that's friendly too
