My new Robin is the friendliest creature on this planet! S/he comes to me every time I am putting the food out, and really close, has done from the start, no hesitation. Even makes eye contact
. This morning, s/he came and had few seeds right next to a couple of guys who are doing some work in my garden, again, no hesitation or fear
.
I never hear him sing though, which is a bit weird
. I wonder if it might be a female, I heard they don't sing

The males sing as a territorial warning to others. Perhaps there is little threat so singing is a wate of energy.

Have a robin or two that come in. One on the large plot and one on the smaller plot. Cant get anywhere near them though.

About a hundred yards up the road from my house is a mini-roundabout. It has to deal with the merger of three roads and is quite busy. The traffic is no discouragement to the local Robins though and a daily battle of song takes place. There are three sides to the roundabout and seemingly a separate Robin for each. I'm not sure if it ever gets physical but is certainly melodic.

Went out into the garden with the sparrow food. Suet pellets and live mealworms. Put the pot down and a robin flew onto the pot and helped itself. First time a robin has done that in the garden.

Robins are regular visitors to my garden feeding on the sunflower hearts from my feeder.

Usually when I see my Robin he/she is either feeding on the SF hearts or waiting for the other birds to clear off the feeder.

My robin is around, but doesn't spend much time in one place, in and out of the garden all the time. Probably busy with his nest somewhere I guess
