Robins never used to eat at any of our feeders, only at the birdtables and on the ground, and even from our hands. They lack the acrobatic abilities of the Tit family, and the seed preference of the finches.
For the last couple of years they have been frequently using the fat feeders and also even the seed in the cages, and teach the chicks to do the same.
Bird pics are not easy for me and my little handheld Tizzy but I had a go.
The other bird is a Coal-tit.

Squirrel monkeys at Edinburgh ZooSquirrel monkeys are small, agile and playful, and they have been quick to adapt to their new environment at the Living Links Centre.
The two groups at Edinburgh Zoo are already showing some marked differences in behaviour. One group’s behaviour is very bold towards the keepers, while the other group is more adventurous in new situations.
In one of our groups there is a large male called Rio, who looks out for the welfare of his group. He is very assertive, especially in situations involving food! In this group there are also a number of females whose position in the group’s hierarchy fluctuates, which is interesting to follow.
Our second group includes a male called Boa, who is younger and smaller than Rio. Boa is still too young to have a lot of influence in the group, but as he matures he will undoubtedly grow in status. We have a number of young squirrel monkeys in each group. Young squirrel monkeys are very adventurous and sociable and some are already starting to boss their older siblings around!

Squirrel monkeys in the wild
Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) are South American tropical rainforest animals. They can live in groups of up to 300 individuals. They use all levels of the forest, but forage and travel mainly in the lower canopy and understory. Squirrel monkeys spend most of their time foraging for fruit—a large part of their diet—as well as insects and other small animal prey.
Breeding programme category: EEP
IUCN Red List category: Least Concern

Prior to retreat this black goby was frantically bobbing it's head up and down. What kind of behaviour is that I'm wondering? Swift up and down motion of it's head.
