Our resident Robin can be relied upon to put in a prompt appearance if there is any digging going on in the garden. Otherwise, he is normally to be spotted in the hedge or other perch, waiting for a gap in the sparrow traffic on the feeders.

The photograph below will not enlarge but the robin was singing so heartily and the sky was so blue, I just couldn't resist it.

When the bird below turned up on the bird table, I was not at all sure what it was. What me? a Robin?!

The rather smart robin below has a prominent white wing bar. It was a regular visitor to the feeders in the Autumn of 2003.

The next two pictures are, I believe, the same bird, 12 days later, the last one a further two days on. Still plenty of juvenile plumage, but in all other respects, unmistakably a robin.
The two pictures on the left, taken after another eight days, show the beginnings of the red breast.
