This one is a different robin it is very nervous. There are 4 but they all look the same to me. Sometimes I think some are fatter they say the females are bigger.? If they have been fighting and get scuffs I can tell them apart.

I think they are saying, thats my food, keep off! Don't they lift the spirit though?

Ours are fussy too except when the temperature drops. I have tried four or five different seed mixes and there is always something the don't like in each one. Like niger seed, corn, or in this one a small beige oval seed. I also shred suet from a block or a fatball for the robins and the blackbirds.

The pots are cut down plastic water bottles, I do this to try and keep from spilling grain. And it's quicker and easier to top the feeders up.I saw a very cheap bird table in Wilko but it looks cheap with the tacks or nails or staples showing. But is has a bar across the bottom on two sides...

Really upset her. Her dad told her they work till they dropped dead. I thought of this as I watched...

I only just found out but it doesn't matter when we remember people, as long as we remember them. God Bless. Nico.

One of my relatives was a blacksmith's striker not sure i fthat was industrial or for horses or maybe they did both then? Probably in the Black Country I would think. I have just seen a site on the web about work horses. The picture shows a dray horse with sacking tied around it's feet to stop...

I think we may not be related, I think KDorse is a third cousin to my third cousin, who'se mother married in to the Dorse family. So maybe not related to me. Or maybe as my Nan said, cat ran over the garden wall related. Thank you for helping with my original post Lyn

I am PM'ing KDorse but doesn't his photo bring the book well the excerpts from it life? It really does look an upmarket establishment.

Fascinating stuff

Good to know it is still a shop!

I told my Birth Mother on Whatsapp last night, she said go and buy it. She is 87 today. She has a dry sense of humour.
