ROBIN-NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK-APRIL 2011

The Robin redbreast is a common sight in woodland and gardens alike. Whilst attempting to attract the Redstarts down from the canopy with live mealworms I discovered that every other woodland bird was very quick to take advantage of a free and easy mealworm or two !! The Robin had the ability to collect up all offerings as quickly as I could put them down. Some shots include the friendly garden Robins who nested in the garden shed, and are hand tame. They will quite happily stay on the hand while feeding on mealworms.
