I had a bird hop onto my bike yesterday!

It isn’t a Robin though..
Way too big. It was sort of Starling size.

Must be a starling in a robin suit then...

T’int a robin

Way too big. It was sort of Starling size.

Must be a well fed Robin then.

That is definitely a large robin. They can grow to 5.5 inches long, which looks about right.

Edit: Wiki says the males are aggressively territorial so that one may have been about to beat the crap out of you for daring to ride through its patch. Wiki also reveals that: "The physical mechanism of the robin's magnetic sense is not fully understood, but may involve quantum entanglement of electron spins."

But you already knew that, didn't you?

Parked up after my Cannock ride yesterday, this little critter was hopping around looking for food.
For scale, the tyre is 26” x 2.35

Defo a Robin IMHO.

What was it then? I've never seen a bird like that, that wasn't a Robin.

That was my question

 

[PeteXXX]

S’pose I’ll have to go back for another loop and see if it’s still there then !!

Take some seed next time, if it's that friendly it will eat out of your hand

Where was that pic taken @PeteXXX?

@User9609 I was trying to get closer for a pic but it flew off.. it wasn’t in the car when I got home, so all is good!

@Drago Cannock Chase MTB Trail car park.

@potsy I reckon it would have done! Inquisitive little thing..
