Watering Can Robins

I have been spending many a happy time watching the Robin couple taking food to the brood they are raising in an abandoned watering can in the garden.

It is quite astounding just how frequently the parents are arriving with food for the youngsters. They are going to be thoroughly shattered by the time they fledge.

The collage was put together using the Mac app PhotoTangler which blends the edges of adjacent photos.

  1. A lovely series of photos John. We once had robins nesting in an old kettle we had placed in a climber on an arch in the garden. Am pretty sure resident garden robin has a nest somewhere nearby.

  2. Fabulous little story. Watched a robin in my neighbour's planter last night, wonder what it was after.

    1. Simon. Thank you. It was nice to be able to get some shots of them coming and going. They don't hang about near the nest.
