OMG!!! Is that your lovely friendly Robin being such a bully Beryl?!! LOL.

What a great picture that is - very well captured lass.

Great action capture Beryl, I think it might be more to do with territory though!

Thank you for your kind comments Delia and Tony |=)|

Yes. He is such a bully. if I put little mounds of seed along the wall he monitors all of it . He'll see off any bird that goes near one of the mounds.
Makes me chuckle because he doesn't get time to have any himself.
It was so sudden . They fell out of the bush in front of me and the sun was the wrong side. Took about 10 photos of he fight . Will try to make a slide show at some point.
There are about 6 Robins and yes they do squabble over territory. The kingpin has a little black distinguishing mark so we know it's the one we feed

Great shot, Beryl! They can be very aggressive.

Thank you kindly for your comment Graham |-)|

Yes . I have a sequence of the whole fight . I did the same with a Blue tit a few years ago
