Our meet on Sunday 26th November 2017, on a very fine winter's day, warmer in the sun after a frosty start, produced a varied haul of rubbish and items including a broken spade and even a kitchen sink. As soon as these were offloaded for collection, a robin immediately came to inspect them, remaining for a considerable time, foraging for insects and spiders.


The robin found plenty of food here during a very careful search.
If the pile had been left until the spring, the robin may even have chosen it as a suitable site
to build a nest…



The river at the end of November, after the gales had blown most 
of the leaves away. The banks here are popular with robins and wrens.
