lanesra 4,007 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I love the smaller garden birds , spend a fair few quid feeding them in the Autumn / winter , I always have a special treat for the Robin in my garden he loves a few bits of mince . I'm the same. Spend a fortune on black sunflower and I get allsorts of small birds. Last year the winter siskins stayed on to breed and then brought their young round for it. I had a female black cap last winter , always seemed to be with the robin , spoke to a friend who's switched on & apparently Thats there trait , though not seen it this winter .

Kay 3,709 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I had a lovely day out in elan valley a few yrs ago & I stopped off to have pot of tea & sat outside , I was watching this Robin flitting about in the trees & it came over to the table I was chuffed to bits ... It was clearly used to being given tit bits 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
