Robins are notoriously territorial, and last winter there were two other Robins in the garden, and Scruff was kept very busy chasing off other intruders. However, they obviously have to work together in the Spring to raise their youngsters.
The warm winter sun must be fooling them into thinking that Spring is just around the corner, as in the last few days, both of them have been closer and more tolerant of each other.
Last year, with Scruff missing a few feathers, and the other two having slightly different white flecks, they were easy to tell apart.
This year, since they have both moulted, they are almost impossible to tell apart by their appearance. However, their behaviour, makes them very easy to distinguish.
Scruff is far more trusting and confident, always ready to be hand fed, in fact often prompting it, by standing outside the window of whichever room I am in or landing right next to me and calling if I am already outside.
Mrs Scruff is not quite there yet, she will watch and fly down to bits of food I throw towards her.
From her behaviour while I am feeding Scruff, I can see she is seriously thinking about flying over to my hand as well.
Scruff is at the front of the image, Mrs Scruff is at the back.

He would then come back and to another three times and then fly off full. Expecting to see this again in a few weeks, hopefully.
