    Just noticed at one of my feeders a robin with a bald patch on the back of his head, I dont think hes one of my regular robins, but its possible.
    Hes eating okay and looks healthy, could it be down to fighting or an illness.

    Guess im worried that it could be something infectious and could spread to the other birds.
