Twitching

If I had done the Birdwatch later in the day I'd have scored two blackbirds and two collared doves. 

I think we may also have two robins. Certainly there are two small birds of the right size. I've seen one chasing the other. Just now I picked up two robins in a sweep of my field glasses- one perched in the holly bush and the other hopping about on the ground. Only I can't be sure it wasn't the same robin. They move awfully fast.

Bingo! It's settled, I've just caught two robins side by side on the ground.

I love English robins, so different from the Thrushes we call robins in the US.
Maybe they'll nearby and you'll see a whole robin family being raised.

Our robins are cute little balls of fluff with loadsa attitude. It would be brilliant if we had a whole family of them.

You remind me of us. We are forever birdwatching!
