Our robin appeared on 22nd August 2007, and almost immediately fed from my hand. We bought mealworms, which (s)he loves, and (s)he returns several times a day despite being chased off by other robins who claim our garden as their territory.

By December he began to watch us through the windows, and he now perches in a prominent position in front of them to attract our attention when he is hungry. He has also learned to recognise the sound of our car, and now appears close by when we were either going out or returning.

On 29th December, he gave our postman a great surprise by alighting on a parcel he was carrying. The robin must have mistaken the parcel for his food container. This happened again some time later when another parcel was delivered.

(S)He continued to visit several times a day until 10th February 2008. After that, visits were on the 13th, 16th, 17th and 21st, and
(s)he hasn't been seen since then.
