Sigh…. This is my first posting in nearly a week. My blog was hacked by sleaze merchants, and for an hour was promoting junk pharmaceuticals before I took everything offline. It required a professional to muck out the barn.
It is a full time job to raise chicks. Robins are constantly out foraging for food to take back to the nest: worms, insects, sometimes both.
A male robin scoured a lawn and captured a Large Yellow Underwing Moth (Noctua pronuba).
It then spotted a worm and tried repeatedly before it succeeded in picking both up at once to carry back to its chicks. The nest was not far away, so why didn’t it just make two trips? It probably feared that the other robins on the lawn would grab the worm while it was away.
Not everything is saved for the chicks. It’s nice to snack while working.
The industrious Robin is always a welcome sight. Sorry to hear your site was hit with malware, but its’ resurrection looks great! Crisp, tidy and easy to read. Many thanks for your perseverance.
Sorry about the scoundrel attack and glad to have your fine photos back. Thank you.
