The berry bushes should be good... don't know much about the Dogwood though, other than it looks nice.
The Blackbirds LOVE our Pyrocanthus!

What a completely unconstructive comment! My life is to short to have a reasonable conversation with you!CornishExile said:Just cos the RSPB says something's so doesn't mean they're right! Do they say why it's good? Life's too short for me to be bothered to hawk through their site to find out if they do...

Excuse me? Where did that come from? You made an initial statement that the RSPB say dogwood was good for robins (post #4); I asked a polite question open to all as to why dogwood might be especially good for robins (post #5); your next posting (#7) changed the tone of things, simply reasserting your original statement in a way that was clearly exasperated with my unwillingness to accept your assertion at face value; and my last post (#10) was a gentle reminder that the RSPB have been known to get it wrong in the past - like all of us, they're human, and fallible - and once again, I wanted someone here on Birdforum (not necessarily you, given the unwillingness to clarify you'd already demonstrated in post #7) to let me know why dogwoods were said to be good for Robins. Why not look it up myself? This is a forum, where people ask questions and more often than not get helpful and illuminating answers. Personally that's why I come to Birdforum, rather than to make provocative and splenetic little outbursts like yours.Free said:What a completely unconstructive comment!
