carni 10,094 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ditch the artificial Robins Carni. If you have Ivy or similar your garden should attract the real thing. Will do Compo. They look very sad now after two winters in the elements. We do have some real Robins. They come to visit every day, they must be territorial, because they look like the same ones, and always stay in the same part of the garden. Thanks for the tip about the Ivy. That is the area that our Robins always visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,194 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Compo spot on carnie' i have some lovely 'ivy' and i know the same Robin has returned for at least 3 years,our cat had hold of it and i managed to save it,but it was badly injured and the marks are still on it.

carni 10,094 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 That little Robin visitor of yours benjamin, needs to be very careful or it might end up as pudding seeing as it escaped being "The First Course" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,514 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 We used to have a wren's nest in ivy on a tree trunk, by a close-boarded fence. It came back every year for several years then last Spring it suddenly disappeared. I'm convinced a local cat got to it, off the fence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't think wrens have a very long life span. About 2 to 3 years. Probably because they are so small. Lovely singing voices in the early morning though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
