    Default My little Robin

    Just a couple of days ago I was discussing with Catherine about whether my new Robin was a nervous-nelly - today the car backed into the drive, I part opened the door and spotted that just 6ft away this Robin was staring at me. I went for my backpack, then opened up the camera bag, then pointed the camera and all the time he just sat and stared. I took quite a few shots and he was fine until I actually opened the door fully.

    Cheeky little beggar!

    Mind you, although I took loads of shots, I didn't get many clear ones. I didn't want to close the door properly as the noise might scare him so I was fielding the door, leaning forward and trying not to move... not easy

    But women can multi-task so I'm told and men........ we wouldn't bother probably.

    I've heard that women can multi-task... so I'm wondering if I'm really a man

    It's funny how birds don't seem to be afraid of us until they see our legs!

    I had reversed my car into its parking space at the side of the house in Ayr one day, when I noticed a Chiffchaff in a hole in the Ivy beside my window. I watched it for a while as it shaped its nest, but had to get out the car at some point. Sadly, when I did, it flew off and deserted its nest altogether...

    Fantastic experience - but maybe it's not legs in general, but just that you have 'scary legs'
