Robin in for a feed

This juvenile robin came in to the tunnel while I was picking broad beans and stayed close to the beans for the entire time.  The beans had been infested with the dreaded red spider mite and I think the robin was picking these off at will.  It is the first year that I have noticed red spider mite on the broad beans, having lost entire crops of french beans cucumbers and melons to them in the past.  Hopefully the tomatoes and peppers, which are the main crops in the tunnel, won't be affected; they are difficult to get rid of.
