The man I spoke to said they get a bit feistier 'in mating season', but seem to have come to an arrangement most of the time. Nice to be sung at whilst looking at gardening tools, anyway.<br />Ulrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022985141813875238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-39581845932138576092017-11-16T22:42:55.010+00:002017-11-16T22:42:55.010+00:00Heard some Hawfinch and Brambling been seen miggin...Heard some Hawfinch and Brambling been seen migging over park Ralph James Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952585736114753767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-44656910683109147882017-11-16T20:28:27.628+00:002017-11-16T20:28:27.628+00:00That sounds very likely.

Stationmasters often put up amusing signs, and the idea of a Level 5 warning is funny. But it's seriously intended to keep you away from the goose, for the bird's good as much as your own.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-49056407226529254932017-11-16T20:24:43.295+00:002017-11-16T20:24:43.295+00:00Female Robins are just as fierce as males, and bot...Female Robins are just as fierce as males, and both sexes sing.
