    Great shots Babs, I recognise the courting pose of the first shot, often accompanied by swaying of the neck and head from side to side. Trying to get a video of it. :

    Cheers Chocky and rolf, I didn't have much time with this shot becasue it was so quick and quite high up but this is the sharpest of the bunch. There was a third Robin trying to get a look in and was obviouslywas chased off.
