I think this new baby robin in our garden must be one of a third brood this season.
He has not much fear of us and today sat on the fence apparently oblivious to my activity with the camera behind the glass. Mostly they fly away at the slightest movement.
My hope is that he does not fall prey to one of the cats who use our garden as a 'rat-run'.
A friend has suggested this may be a robin having a summer moult rather than a baby. Any comments?
I enjoyed creating this collage on iPiccy although it did take a disproportionate amount of time to get everything 'right'!
Loving the fluffiness! Classic moult - could be a young one losing its baby feathers or it could be an older one doing the usual August moult to get their Winter feathers grown and ready for warmth. Almost August now, so either are possible.
It is definitely raggedy. Your robins always look like chicks to me because American robins are large birds and most of their front is rust colored. Love your collection of the bird shots.
Oh yes, ragged robin, took me a minute to get there, Beryl!
