Something you don't often see

OK, this isn't the best of shots, but it's so unusual to see two robins this close together that it was worth putting in an album. Male robins are aggresively territorial,so I think that these are either two females or a male and a female. Unlike a lot of birds, the markings on male and female robins are much the same.

Nice shot. I agree that robins are not particularly social. Must be that time of year?

@johnkratofil Thank you :-) We've got a bird feeder, so maybe greed enables them to put aside their differences for a while. :-D

[Susan Bell]

Very pretty with the blooms as well. The only reference that I can find to differences between male and female is "the angle of brown on the forehead which turns into the red of the face forms a 'U'-shape in males and a 'V'-shape in females". Hard to see but it could be that the right hand one is male and the lower left hand one female? they have their backs to each other, so perhaps they have had a falling out ;-)

Good shot. Their song is so lovely, two of them in duet must be wonderful!

[Zanettie]

This is a lovely shot - they do look like they're ignoring each other though!

[Brian Baptie]

They are so tiny and cute!!

[Jen Hudson]

Yes they are definitely not looking at ech other! It s a lovely shot and also a nice shot of the pink viburnun blossom.

[Jean Tookey]

A lovely shot. I think they are just getting to know each other.

[Taephy]

but it looks lovely, esp against those blossoms!

I agree with all the above, lovely along with the blossom. You are going to have to tell me how you are getting all these shots of Robins. All I can think of is Hug-Tight but I'm not allowed to do that.
