Hello everyone
I discovered this forum today and wonder if anybody can help answer this question. I have a pair of Robins who live in my garden. They raised a clutch of three babies last spring and I think they are back again this year.
I was working in the garden today and they were hovering closeby picking up the grubs that were being unearthed.
One of them had what appeared to be a growth by the side of its eye. I managed to take a close-up photograph and on closer inspection it looks like a hole! :eek!:
I’ve attached a photograph and wonder if anyone knows what it is? Is this a disease that is common in Robins? It seems to be eating and behaving normally.
Many thanks!
