This is a Robin which my grandfather has tamed and was followed into the house for another tasty mealworm. Today an old friend of the family came to my granfathers house with a small newly hatched chick which had fallen from a nest. It was put in the bird box where this little fella is feeding his mate and chicks so fingers crossed he will take to the new bird and not kick it out or leave it to starve. This little bird is atleast three years old, he is surviving so well as he has a healthy diet and also never goes hungry. This was less of photography and more of a snapshot but i think the composition is good as you can see that the bird is either looking at me or the person feeding him. He is now used to me and often flies at my face when he wants food,, those pesky birds!!!
