Old Lodge Ashdown Forest April 20th 2013
What started out to be a fairly quiet visit.... suddenly turned into one of the bets visits to this nature reserve. From the moment the Red Kite was spotted there were several opportunities to get some good photos...

Robin (I love that a Robin will usually come over to see who you are
and announce that this is his or her territory.

| Although some Holly.. Robins are not just for Christmas! |

This photo shows the Robin a little 'spooked' as it spotted a larger bird flying overhead -
(although it was only a pigeon - it could have been a predator)

| Willow Warbler - not to be confused with a Chiffchaff |

Robin - Erithacus rubecula
The Robin - Erithacus rubecula
Arguably, the UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas!
Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown.
Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders.
This Robin photo was taken at Warnham Nature Reserve in December 2010
The Robin on the right and below - photos were taken in the Summer of 2010 at Pulborough Brooks RSPB site.
