It's a happy family. A baby robin and a very grown up baby robin.

Actually I think the baby might be a blackbird or thrush - beak shape and colour of the eyes.

Well he ain't your normal type of cuddly garden gnome, more like a grotesque gargoyle. But I love my Gothic elf, and he makes a right useful doorstop for the back-door in summer :

Robins belong to the larger family of Chats and Thrushes, so the juvenile's resemblance to the young of a Blackbird or Thrush isn't surprising. As far as the pure death in the eyes is concerned, Robins are violent, murderous little bastards, and will happily tear an intruder to ribbons. That little one's probably thinking 'next year, when I'm biggerer, I'm gonna have you. Come and 'ave a go if you're 'ard enough!'

Definitely a baby robin, the baby blackbirds are huge.

We found a nest in a stone wall yesterday filled with great tits, made sure we took a quick look so as not to disturb the parents, who seemed to be feeding them every 30 seconds.

I love spring 🙂
