Now begins the season of the attack robins.
Robins are territorial nesters and will attempt to drive off all rivals, including those that are merely reflections of themselves as seen in a window. Further, as the mirrored robin is equally aggressive, the contest can proceed almost interminably with no clear winner.
To get a head-on image of a robin attacking a window’s reflection, this picture was taken from inside the house and so shows all the blotches and strangely coloured reflections of such a view.
Hi Alistair
You do have a great time, don’t you! Thanks so much for these periodic reminders of something we periodically need to be reminded of: the enormous pleasure to be had in simply slowing down, standing back, and really taking a good look around.
P.S. Is it safe to infer that your house bears approximately the same relation to cobwebs as ours does?
Trevor, chuckle, perhaps I am compensating for many years of responsible living. As to spiders, I am a fan.
