Robin Fledgling (Erithacus rubecula)

My local Robin has recently been visiting my feeders and taking food somewhere. Yesterday the Adult brought the young Fledgling to the feeder to teach him how to feed. This shot shows that he hasn't quite mastered it yet.

Oh you're so lucky Brian... my Robin just disappears completely at this time of year and it'll likely be a few weeks yet before he's back.

A super picture you've taken of this inquisitive youngster. Well done my friend.
