A new garden member.

Today we had the privilege to welcome a new bird to our garden. Our resident Robin has obviously been very busy lately!

I apologise for the quality, they were hand held and shot through our double glazed windows.

Aw, that's so sweet. I adore young Robins. Always nice to see them around.

Nice photos, We had a baby robin come sit opposite me and my hubby on the garden chair last year. He just sat there and looked at us. Then flew off. They are so cute.

Is it just me or is the baby bigger than the adult?

Is this normal or is it ruffling up it's feathers?

I think the pictures lovely by the way

Robins have a talent for making themselves look larger than they really are, as anyone looking at my pictures of Robins at Rufford Park can see.

Besides this, poor Mum has been run ragged and has no doubt lost weight during the nesting period.

A Robin run Ragged lol, and she is still looking good! It's the exercise that does it

My my the season is progressing! I could hear youngsters thin high 'seeping' calls in the undergrowth yesterday at work (gorgeous afternoon after a wet start) and hubby says the robins in the box in their compound at work fledged yesterday (and are squeezing in and out of the next building and settting the alarm off!) Ian hopes in another day or so they will go a bit further afield and stop getting into the buildings - till then he's likely to be called out to alarm activations
