Have a read of this Robins are 'supermen of the garden' - Yahoo! News UK

A garden super hero indeed...bodes well for my new lottie

Right, off to paint,gloss, paint, gloss, sneak off to the lottie, paint, gloss...

I don't know about magnetic fields and all that RtB but I've got a Robin that follows me round the lottie when I'm digging eating all the grubs and caterpillers I unearth so they are indeed superhero's in my opinion

I've got a Robin in my garden who keeps an eye out and lets all the other birds know when there is a cat about! He/ she is a real hero to them!

I've got a Robin that occasionally turns up on the lottie, but fortunately he usually keeps away, he has been known to pull up young leeks, thinking they were grass (that just happened to have grown perfectly spaced and in a straight line) he has also been known to turn up to 'help', only to then sit on a deck-chair quaffing the slug-bait. If I see him there now he's shooed away pronto. He's flying south to China for two years though soon and I'm going to miss him dreadfully.

Gosh that one was a bit deep, Bluemoon - it took me two readings to work out that you are talking about a human! I love the posts that make me think!

[SlugLobber]

Me too. I was alarmed that a Robin would be eating slug pellets for a second. D'oh!
