Our street must be the place to meet in spring. There were dozens of robins flying around today filling up on the fruit of a few trees.
This one was doing some snacking from the mountain ash in a neighbours yard.
I watched this robin get some worms from the grass and then head into the tree and feed them to this young one ...
I then went and grabbed the long lens and came back and waited to see what Mamma brought back this time ... it looked like black berries to me.
Rattlesden is a very attractive mid-sized (pop: 960) village in the Mid Suffolk District. It lies about 5km west of Stowmarket and stands on the River Rat, a tributary of the Gipping. The centre of the village contains several attractive thatched cottages. Robin Cottage, appropriately, is in Bird’s Green.
This robin stayed close to us while we were working in the back yard, hoping to get some yummy insects i suppose !

In my search for "Life Birds" I find I have neglected the commonplace birds like the American Robin.
In 1931 the Michigan legislature, on the basis of a popularity poll conducted by the Audubon society, adopted the "Robin Red Breast" as Michigan's State Bird. It's also the State Bird of Connecticut and Wisconsin. Though it was named after the robins found in Europe, the American Robin, a member of the thrush family, is not closely related to European Robins.
Many people are happy to see the "first Robin of Spring". Though Robins are migratory, many do not migrate, and "tough out" Michigan's winters. Unfortunately, many do not survive a hard winter.
American Robins are very wide-spread, found in every State, in city and country, and are one of the most numerous of North American birds. This male Robin was found in the marsh at Lake St.Clair Metropark, Michigan.
