    Looks like it's in training, doing an army obstacle course.

    Hi Obelix, the wee thing had been coming to us since a baby...(not very old there) and was feeding from my outstretched hand on a couple of occasions. We thought it a bit odd that it wasn't scared of us and it would totter around the ground and on the table, even with dogs about and it had difficulty in opening the sun flower seeds etc. unfortunately a week or so after these pics, we never seen it againimage.

    Not sure if it was born with something wrong with it.

    Maybe just grew up?

    A wee tip - It's always a good idea to take fat balls out of their net bags as birds can get their feet and claws trapped and injured in them.

    imageHere's "Robbie Robin" - my apprentice Under Gardener. He inspects ALL my diggings & plantings to make sure that I'm doing it properly & to his entire satisfaction. [BirdieHSE would have a fit - he's generally less than 5 cms from my border fork tines/ trowel/ hoe...].

    He's lovely,

    we think we have had the same robin for the past few years coming and going in garden but he tends to stay away when the Nuthatchets are about for some reason. Lovely pic image

    Hi Clarice673,nice pics of the Blue tits. When I  as in Paris about three years ago there was a Frenchman  feeding the sparrows outside Notre Dame. He gave me some of the baguette he was feeding them so I could feed them too.You only had to whistle and they would pop their heads out of the hedges. As soon as they saw the bread they flew onto your hands to feed.IT was the highlight of my holiday. Here's  a pic of the gold finch on my bird feeder I use to have.
