Baby 'Bobbins' of our own!
April 21, 2024
While we help so many people all over the globe at this time of year with their own baby bird queries; just now and again I get to see the 'home grown' ones which our resident birds share with us.
This photo is taken of the dashboard of an old Series Land Rover I have awaiting restoration, and I am particularly pleased that our very own Mr Bobbin has found himself a new wife this year and started another family. They are of course a family of three robin chicks, and at this age are about five days from fledging. Sadly we found the original Mrs Bobbin had passed away last year soon after laying a clutch of eggs in one of the sheds, so we didn't have any youngsters reared that year.

**Update** I am pleased to advise that all three did safely fledge 5 days after this photo was taken.
