ok sparkey.......your from devon.....you have robins......just get some dried meal worms and find a robin that is pretty brave.....put a few in your hand and hold your arm out towards him.......eventually one will become tempted

[Sparkey Duck]

I'm living in a place called Westward Ho! at the moment, and tomorrow I am going to buy some wormies and then I'm going to try just that

 

[skyblue]

that depends......if its not on your hand within a minute or 2 i doubt it will.....so move on and find another,wont be hard cos robins are territorial

Excellent, excellent. I shall go tomorrow, though knowing my luck I'll get some scouse tourist start eating my worms.

I'll let you know if it works

That is one of the prettiest birds I think I have ever seen! That is so awesome!!

 

[Sparkey Duck]

Well, I'm right on the coastal path. so... I'm going to try the little blighter who frequents the back garden, if not, then I will go for a coastal walk, should be perfect., I have seen a load this summer and autumn, along with a few hawks and the likes.
