The birds all seem to rock up to the feeders at the same time so the robins queue up on the kennel that Nigel made Monty (who never went in it but the cat loves it). Not the best photo because I took it through a window but I’ve not exactly been spoilt for choice today.
Weather: a day of two halves, unfortunately the wrong way round for my plans...
Covid: lockdown making me tired (I realise that that is a luxury) - apparently it’s because we don’t know where the finish line is...
Good thing: online Pilates to justify not walking in torrential rain.
Looks a very sweet and patient robin. Agreed on the Covid tiredness. Its lack of stimulus i think. A friend was saying last night that he had to drive to work (less than 30 miles) and he found it a bit much. We've got out of the habit of doing anything.
@fueast I agree - we are offered titbits of excitement and can’t be bothered with them! I think I could actually not go out all week given a good excuse.
I have discovered that Robins are so loud and noisy! My dad says because they are territorial.
Agree about the tiredness thing, we are becoming used to doing so little, and yet once we can I imagine there will be an enormous surge of energy.
@ruthmouch they are- who killed cock robin? Cock robin...and all that. Our pair must be betrothed! I hope you’re right about the energy- volunteering definitely helps!
@humphreyhippo the blackbirds do that! We’ve got a fancy jar thing of suet with a perch and the robins love it but they are not good perchers- they send it spinning every time!
Oh how cute! Reminds me of Woodstock hanging out on top of Snoopy's doghouse. I can relate to Covid lockdown fatigue. I'm grateful that feeding those in need is considered essential work. Honestly, that contact with the outside world twice a week has kept my mind from completely locking up in mental fog/fatigue. The pandemic and politics has been a total stress bomb.
@peggysirk definitely we’ve shifted to two teams to avoid Covid wiping out the service if we need to isolate- on weeks are definitely better than off for energy levels.
