Robin Attacking

[Steven Gourlay]

I went up to top up the feeder while the rain was off and took the camera just incase i got the chance to take some pics. There has been a Robin for a few months now that seems to stay in close proximity of Isobels house, i think its the same one that used to hit the window.
Suicidal Robin

On 3 occasions i spotted a Dunnock going to the bird table and then froma distance the Robin dives in to attack then follows the Dunnock all the way up Ullapool hillwalk, was way to fast for me to get a shot.

Isobel has noticed this a few times with the Robin attacking tits.

Anyone else got a crazed Robin in their garden?

not in my garden Steven, but where I regularly go for pics.There is a short branch protuding from the main trunk, about 8' up.There appears to be a very doninant robin which perches there, and will fight of other robins, tits ,finches etc, often in mid air.again too quick to get a decent pic.Robins are very territorial, and can be aggressive, especially when there is a reliable source of available food.
