A wonderful surprise by rosiekind

A wonderful surprise

This morning when I opened up the bird's food store, I had a wonderful surprise. Robbie landed on the side and was within 12" from me. I scooped some suet pellets up in my hand and asked him if he would like some. He flitted onto my hand and grabbed one and then after I had finished filling the feeders he ate from my hand again! I was so thrilled and it has made my day. How I love this little bird. We have several robins coming into the garden but I always know which one is Robbie. The others are not nearly as tame and the smaller slim ones are females. It is so lovely making friends with my very own robin.

Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
So cute.

Beautifully captured, Rosie! A FAV. I wonder if you might try a second version with the left half cropped off, and a little of the right, creating a vertical?
