Indoor Meeting - Home with the Robins

Robin sitting in grass

Tuesday, 3 October 2006

A magazine once asked the reader to think of a blue tit - and then draw it from memory. Duh! Mike Read asked us to say how near to the robin's bill does the red come. Only 4 people got it right (it goes over the top). Clearly, even with a common and popular bird there is still much to learn, or do we just take them for granted? In addition to the general natural history of the robin, Mike interspersed with lots of tips on general garden feeding and habitat - and as is now usual, good ideas for improving digital photography.
