Guarding his territory

 The robin may be the most well known of the British  birds, but, in my view, this doesn't detract from the fact that it is very attractive..
I also found out that:
Nearly three quarters of robins in Britain die before they are one year old, either caught by predators or unable to fend for themselves.  Ten per cent of older robins die defending their territory.
Robins are fiercely territorial over food supply.  Not more than one robin will occupy a small garden, unless it is his mate.  When their food source becomes scarce in winter they will eat just about anything put out for them on a bird table, especially fatty foods such as bacon rind and cheese.
In winter, the robin puffs up its plumage to insulate its body against cold winds..
Since lockdown, I have become increasingly interested in photographing wildlife. Staying local is a little more challenging for landscape. The problem is I have been casting envious glances at those big lenses sported by so many wildlife photographers.  Just had a peek and Amazon is even offering interest free credit. Just wondering what I can sell.
