I Heard It Through The Grapevine

.... which grows by our back door. A plaintiff tweeting but I knew it wasn't one of my fledgling wrens. A parent robin was feeding a gorgeous chick on a horizontal branch of the vine. I rushed to get the camera but was too late. (I love that song. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hajBdDM2qdg )

I've spent a lot of time today trailing this chick. The parents are completely trusting of me and don't seem to mind my presence at all. I was sitting at the computer this afternoon and one of the adults walked into our living room and had a good look around for food. :) I carried on typing while it flitted from sofa to coffee table to coal scuttle.
