Had two this morning in the hawthorn, but not for long, one shot out rather quick.

It's that time of year, isn't it ? It's all about territory for robins now, until next February.

I think I have an established relationship with my robin now
. While I was putting the food out this morning he landed on a nearby shrub and stayed there looking at me and chirping
. Such a charmer

Had a robin this morning take advantage of the pied wagtails mealworms. Stayed and had a couple.

A robin was staying in the hedge a lot today. Coming out now and again to the bird table for food.

I've been hearing my robin sing during the night, at all hours
. Has anyone come across such a behaviour? It doesn't sound right hearing a bird sing in the middle of the night

Not heard it myself butterfly. But it can be down to light pollution. Any bright lights nearby?

Oh it might be that than Willpar
, I wouldn't say bright lights, but its a city, high street is nearby, street lights and all that. I just hope it gets enough sleep, hearing it in the middle of the night is a bit disturbing
