Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Ye don't see This every day! Found it on a trail cam primarily left out for foxes. (Vimeo might have given it a roaring backdrop sound? Don't get it on my desk top ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 31,763 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Interesting little fact mate the shape of a birds eyes seems to dictate nocturnal activity the robin has round eyes and will sing all night long, the blackbird has slightly less but still round eyes and is the next to join the dawn chorus, the rounder the eyes the more nocturnal seems to be the norm, don’t know if there is any science in that but it seems to be true 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,988 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Saw a Robin roosting just before Christmas, only waist height in a little hedge in a car park. He was certainly pulled in tight, couldn't see his head at all 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
