    Hi all, this is my first post so may I introduce myselfâ?¦.Iâ??m a tree surgeon working in the midlands for a local authority. I took some footage of a little robin a few weeks ago, he gives me great pleasure and Iâ??d like to share it with you keen gardeners. Iâ??ll spend a little time on this forum so feel free if you have any tree related questions/queries.

    Welcome John :gnthb:

    I'm sure that there will be lots of questions about trees.

    Hi John and welcome to the forum.
    What a lovely, lovely clip :) I know Robins are friendly but I have never seen anything like that before. That's so cute.
    You must go there regularly for the robin to get so trusting of you?

    Great vid John, very tame :gnthb:, never had a robin feed from my hand although I nearly had it taken off once trying to feed an Emu at Longleat:D.
