I came face to face with one the other day - I smacked my lips together to make a squeaking noise and delightfully he answered with a soft tuneful tweet. I thought he would then take flight but he stood his ground and carried on talking to me for a good five minutes ... I only wished that I had tried to take a picture. I think I was really too close and would have frightened him too much so I will have to content myself with the memory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232800801644644689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-77552415467377194232011-03-24T17:50:12.721-05:002011-03-24T17:50:12.721-05:00I haven't seen a Robin up close like that.

For now I'll answer questions.<br /><br />@Allotments4you <br />Our American robins are about twice the size of your European robins. Both birds have their good points. I think yours are prettier, but ours are pretty too. I don't think the American robins are particularly friendly, but they don't seem to mind people being around them. They never come up to a person for food though.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-50348810010232416432011-03-23T02:44:50.437-05:002011-03-23T02:44:50.437-05:00What beautiful pictures you got, Ratty!!
