Yep! Somebody somewhere has some good whittling skills. There was quite a few different ones all around the place, but that one was the best.

Never seen such a distinctive line down the back of one.
Love the robin as well. Territorial chaps. Fight to the death sometimes. Would never have thought it - most people think they're friendly little chaps.

I have a pair of robins in the garden, they were cheeky today as I was sweeping up they came down for the grubs then wanted mealworms too. I'll post pics tomorrow. But this thing about fighting to the death, my cat brought in a dead one a few weeks ago. The cat doesn't normally catch birds and I suggested to Stu that it may have been injured fighting making it an easy target for my fat lazy furball. Is that a possibility?

Nice pics from christian1000.

Spooky first pic from Richie, looks like something from a horror movie.
Love the cow pic!

Certainly a possibility; I would expect there would be territorial disputes going on around now before egg laying. It's possible that it wasn't injured as such but exhausted and just not fully aware. Meg would probably know with more authority tho I'm not sure she frequents these parts that often any more.

In some ways it's sad when a cat kills a bird but if you can bring yourself to watch it, it's incredible.

And here is one of the two robins living in my garden. Not pin sharp as it was taken on a very gloomy day yesterday hand held with a 400mm.
