I don't know if he didn't see me standing near the garden fence, or he was being cheeky, but my robin (have to think of a name for him ) flew over the fence and just missed my head . I felt the air move from his wings! Crazy bird

Has anyone seen a bigger Robin than this?

Seen my first robin in the garden this morning. Was on the hedge by the feeder. Nice to see.

Lovely news, Willpar !! Hope it stays with you all winter long. (Robins luuurve mealworms so your hedgies might be in a queue, calci or not .)

Robin back this morning, I have hung up a dish with some soaked mealworms in it just to see how it goes. Don't have live ones yet as I am waiting for the pied wagtails to arrive.

Is your robin still around Willpar? I hope so, they are such a joy to have around
I don't think I've ever seen a pied wagtail , where do they arrive from? Should I expect them too?

Never seen the robin this morning.

Buterfly, I have a pair of pied wagtails camp out here in the carpark from around November till late February early March. I feed them all winter with live mealworms. If you look in birds here then pied wagtails, you will see my post. Have had them now for several years. I think they more than likely come in from the countryside. Supermarket carparks are a favourite place for them to hang out as well. They get down in the shopping precinct here for the winter.Looking for crumbs that people drop.

I wish I get to see pied wagtails in my garden, they are so cute

With the cold snap forecast, I could get them any time now.
