| | | strange robin behaviour
The young robin in are garden, seems to be acting strange. He seems obsessed with my neibours car. He sit under it looking all around then hops onto the curb, flutters up the side of the car sits on the bonnet does a couple of head bobs and hops off again, it will do this 3 or 4 times then fly off into the near by bush. I seen it do this on 2 different days.
Just wonder what he/she is doing

Just wonder what he/she is doing | perhaps its a juvenille confused by its reflection in the paintwork and glass? looking for the strange other robin around the car? Or perhaps checking for newly squished insects that are still juicy? |

Is this after the car engine has been on. I wonder if the Robin likes the warmth of the car? |

I wonder if he's casing it up for next years nesting site . Wheel arches are tempting places !
Make sure he knows that it moves !!

the car never move's.
though it is black in colour so maybe it warm from the sunlight. If it was to warm up would he/she stay there for a few mins. But it more like hop on 5 seconds hop off.

Keith. | LOL
no it's a BMW, the guy has 4 cars and 2 Motabikes and only drives one all of the time, it been about 4 weeks since he drove the BMW the Robin likes, and the escort he has near are drive has'nt moved for over 6 months. I constantly reporting his cars for having no tax.
anyway back to the robin.

O.K back to the Robin !
If it likes the area, it's probable that it will nest there. My moneys on a Robins nest in the engine next year!
