Close encounters of an avian kind!
This morning, whilst out in the garden, I was fortunate enough to have my camera to hand when a cheeky, plump and very friendly Robin landed nearby. A short while before, my husband had been mowing and edging the lawn, so presumably the Robin had been keeping his beady little eye on this and waiting to see what "treats" might be unearthed!

Thanks for your appreciative comments. Indeed, Grafter, and it's not only our gardens but also our lives that are enriched by birds and wildlife!

Lovely observations, Patty. Where would our gardens be without the robin & blackbird?

A lovely article. We have our residents too. This year the back garden Billies look as though they are nesting in next doors Pyracantha against the fence, while the front garden pair have settled on the Bay tree this year. Other favoured sites include the Pittosporum, Solanum crispin Glasnevin, and Viburnum tinus. i have not spotted a robin nest yet, but they can't be far away as we usually have young ones about later in the year.
