    Was out a walk today, and my eye was caught by Irish colours in the grass!

    On closer inspection, it had 2 yellow tips to its wings, the green must have been the underside?

    Himself and Robbie both flat out feeding their broods who have fledged in the past 2 weeks. Its a full on feeding frenzy.

    I love the wet punk rock robin look that your robins have lolie. I was walking home from the busstop this morning and saw/heard 3 different robins. I have 2 that drop by my garden regularly. It might be tempting them now that I've started adding mealworms to the bird feeder.

    Apologies, can't for the life of me figure out how to upload a photo. I had tried to and failed and didnt realise the text went up without the photo.

    In any case, I am fairly sure it is a New Zealand flatworm. Not good according to what I've read. Strange looking things. My daughter actually broke it in half by accident. I was secretly delighted till I found out that doesn't kill them!

    Heat kills them. Put it in a jar and leave it in the sun. Last year's mini-heatwave drastically reduced their population, based on the reports of what various noticed in their gardens.

    My daughter will be delighted with that suggestion! Along with her slug and snail farm!

    More Robins, Robbies babies this time.
    Very easy to tell the 3 of them apart and one has a little red patch already.
    He'll probably move them away soon as he has a 2nd brood hatched out this week only a few metres from the back door near where the pics were took.

    Its red patch is getting bigger by the day.
