Its a good sign people. Saw this Bird on the way to work this morning!

Not bad for an iPhone camera

Definately a good sign, when I lived in Eltham we often had robbins in the garden and on a recent visit to the mother in laws (in Lewisham) a robbin was in my company for several hours while I done some work in her garden...they are such a friendly bird. Can't recall seeing one down here (a real shame) probably frightend of the seagulls.

Is it a Dartford Warbler?

I live in Bexhill and robins are a rarity here too. One Saturday morning last season I did see two of them in my front garden and wondered if was a good sign - it was, we played Barnsley away later that day!

Cool. Get some Robins in our garden which ain't bad considering it backs onto Sparrows Lane.

Took these fellas feeding on Sunday evening. Goldfinches.

I do like a Robin, but definitely prefer Tits.

We've got some Great Tits in our garden gobbling nuts.

I was told that Robin's are territorial and you only get one in your garden? I can have three on a good day so that throws that theory out the window

Depends how big your garden is I suppose!

They are, especially during the mating season, aggressive little beggars too.
Perhaps they were from the same family.


edit. I think this thread is in the wrong category.

I have a family of Robins in my garden, they follow me around when I am cutting the grass. Also had a pair of collared doves nesting in a tree in my garden, one of the chicks kept falling out of the nest when it was young. They have all flown the nest now.

That might be Mr & Mrs Robin, and their spotty oik of an adolescent - who thinks it's cheaper to live at home where everything's done for him, so refuses to leave the nest.

I live Ninfield, a couple of miles from Bexhill, and we always have robins in our garden. Nice when you are gardening as they are very friendly and will come very close to you.

Have we moved from trainspotting to birdspotting now?

Doesn't work. Southampton about 10 years ago I watched the Simpsons beforehand where Barney is arguing about Lord Palmerston. I sat down in a park, noticed there to be a statue of him opposite me then a robin landed on it so I thought all the omens were good. We lost 3-2.

Before the 4-4 draw v Millwall at home a few seasons ago we saw a robin in our mate's garden. He pointed it out as a sign that we were gonna win. I then burst his bubble by pointing out that you wouldn't get many blue lions knocking about in Charlton.

I was right anyway. 4-4.

As soon as I got in from work knackered last summer, my missus, without even looking up, said, 'Can you get the dead jay out of the paddling pool?'

At least it wasn't Michael Barrymore asking you to get the dead gay out of the pool.

We've got a chimney sweep coming on Friday to get a dead pigeon out of the chimney. Anyone want any flies?
