Re: Robin
The adult birds are still lurking in garden but I have not seen any of the fledglings. There are plenty of places in my jungle for them to hide so I'm not too concerned.
Anyone require some used Romper suits?

My own local caroller was out of the blocks even sooner than yours. Two weeks ago he started but only on a part time basis as some days he doesn't bother.
