They are incredibly brave if you are disturbing the soil and will nip an
and nab worms from under your feet. Your resident male will be used to you
and considers it his garden - not yours!

We were clearing ivy off what were the flower beds this weekend which our
robin found very interesting. When we stopped to have our lunch on the
patio, the robin joined us making a great racket. Obvioulsy he thought that
we should continue with the digging and provide food for him, not be
relaxing with our own meal.

Cheers, Alastair.
