After skipping last year the robins are back in one of the nesting boxes in my garden.
I'm used to them getting close in winter, especially if I'm digging, but I've not seen one as cheeky as this. She was hopping around the garden gathering moss and even landed on a friend's arm. I sat in front of the nesting box to watch and she really didn't mind how close I got.
Both videos were taken on my phone with no zoom, at times she was within a foot of me and a couple of times when flying in and out brushed my head. I'm looking forward to following this clutch, I think I'll set my trail camera up in front of the box. I doubt the occupants will mind.

While you might think that I couldn't possibly comment.
