Watching the Feeder

I'm sure the birds in my garden watch me when I take down the feeders for cleaning and restocking as they're eating as soon as I'm back in the house. The Robin is after the fat balls at the moment and the Blue Tit in the extra is liking the sunflower hearts.

Did you know that:
- British robins seldom move far from where they hatched
- The robin is a member of the thrush family, so is related to the blackbird and the nightingale.
- Many attempts have been made to introduce robins to America, Australia and New Zealand. All have failed.
- Robins will invariably defend their territories from other robins, sometimes fighting to the death
- Given a choice of any food, most robins like mealworms best of all.
