Friendly Fearless Robin

Another lovely bright and frosty day. The ice on the lake was thick enough to hold a duck. 

We see this robin daily on our walks. Its territory is in the southerly hedge of our property. I was moving closer to it as I was snapping and expected it to move away. Instead it hopped from the hazel bush onto a hogweed haulm nearer to me.

I read Ronnie Spector's obituary in the paper this morning and listened to The Ronettes while I was doing my chores. It took me back. I've been listening to her on BBC Four this evening.
