Hunters companion the robin I talk to them ( ) On one permission I can guarantee 4 out of 5 times I get a visit from a particular robin, so now I take a little something for him seeds or whatever. Not got him eating out of my hand yet. Still think it's nice to be visited by the wildlife. Just wish the rabbits were as obliging

Me and my digging partner had a dig this morning and two Robins were picking ,worms out of the soil as soon as we were turning the soil out,regards bannyboy

[ferreterni 29]

They learnt over time that human activity can yield food, through digging etc, have one constant in the garden over summer, and on one ground had one follow all day. Heard somewhere that they adapted, and they used to follow wild pigs etc, as they turn soil over etc. Prefer the blackbirds call when out though.

I had one watching me for the first time whilst out a couple of days ago. Realy appreciate their colours when they get real close to you.Happy Hunting Jamie93

I was out last Tuesday and the Robin was checking the leaves when in walked round the holes for grubs etc. I thought it was one of santa's little Robins making checking out if I'd been a good boy????

 

Can I wish all countrymen and women a brilliant christmas and a healthy and prosperous new year

They get used to hunters/shooters etc dropping crumbs for them or throwing a corner of a sandwich etc.

 

Used to have one that came to the cars whenever we parked up to go beating. By the end of the season it would land straight on the mirror and look into the car if you didn't give it crumbs straight away.
