    Robin courtship

    I was mowing the orchard this afternoon when I noticed these two - the male is obviously bringing food to the female to show what a wonderful husband and father he would make - whether he won her heart or not I know not.

    Both grab shots really, I did not dare to approach too close for fear of disturbing them and ruining his chances, so a fairly hefty crop I'm afraid.

                Thanks chaps - I thought it was rather charming I must say.
