The road to love isn't easy

So is Tane paired up with Mottled Breast?

For a few days, I saw this one often and saw Tane with another robin - it was hard to tell if the robin he was with was this robin. Then, for a few days, no signs of her or of togetherness. Instead, he is doing a lot of singing and little socialising.

After that, I saw this... Is it MB, or someone else?

Tane chased this bird off and came and talked to me for a long time. So, is the robin romance over?

I'll have to keep paying attention.

A few times I have seen the goldfinches.

And a pair of kites circling overhead.

The pied wagtail pair have visited regularly.

And the dunnocks and tits are constant if unwilling companions.

I briefly caught sight of the tail end of the wren.

The male blackbirds continue to outnumber the females.

The squirrels are visiting and I assume the fox is too as the chews disappear and a cat couldn't manage them.

So the garden remains busy, if the mysteries persist.
