Martin has reported a little friend that has followed him around in recent months.
The little robin came and went regularly this morning, surveying our Gardener Plus
continuing to remove unwanted materials to the skip, and levelling the patio preparation.
Today he concentrated on preparing the ground for the sleeper wall.
After each trip of Martin’s this undoubted descendent of Nugget hopped down and investigated the supply of wriggly things exposed.
Where is Nugget Junior? Can you spot him on the edge of the gravel?
This evening we dined on tempura and hot and spicy prawns with Jackie’s flavoursome savoury rice with which she drank Hoegaarden and I drank more of the Gran Selone.
I’d spot Junior anywhere. I am so thrilled that he’s come to survey where his lineage is rooted.
Thank you very much, GP. Well spotted
Isn’t Nugget, Junior as winsome little fellow! I spotted him in the last photo right away. There’s no hiding that robin red breast.
*a winsome
🙂
Thanks very much, Liz
I’m so happy to see that little fellow.
Thank you very much, Sherry
I’m so happy that there’s a probable Nugget descendent in your garden!
Thank you very much, Merril
I see Nuggetson!
Thank you very much, Susan – a good name
What a treat this post is!
Thank you so much, Anne
He’s an appealing little companion and easy to spot with that red breast.
Thank you very much, Pat
Fine set of Robin photos. Looking forward to seeing it with the sleepers – very elegant!
Thank you very much, Quercus. There is nothing like natural materials
He’s a QT!
Thanks very much, Cindy. This must be your first comment, thought lost
Nugget, JR!!! YAY! So good to see him again! He’s quite handsome, looks healthy, and is a joy to spot with his beautiful red vest…er…breast! 😉
Apparently, he’s a great supervisor! 😉 😛
How lovely he has returned to his roots. SIGH ❤️❤️❤️
(((HUGS))) 🙂
PS…“It’s a fact: a robin does not sing because it has an opinion. It sings because it wants you to listen.” 🙂
Thank you so much, Carolyn X
Naaaw, Nugget, or his descendant at least, is baaaack! Bless. He must think Christmas has come early with such easy pickings courtesy of Martin.
Thank you so much, Gwen
Apparently robins learned this behaviour by following wild boars through the forests of old England.
That makes sense, John. Thanks very much
How lovely that one of the Nuggets has returned to base.
Thank you very much, Sheree
I’m sure Nugget junior is chirping these words
“I love hard work. I could watch it all day”
Thank you very much, Ivor
So glad that Nugget’s family is back!
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
It is good to see that the garden improvements are being properly supervised.
🙂 Thank you very much, Tootlepedal
So so cute! He can’t hide with that beautiful red breast 😉
Thank you so much, Ribana
Nugget Jr. has found a fine friend in Martin, exposing all those tasty morsels of worms and crawly things for him to eat. Those are fine photos of Nugget Jr, and Martin, at work. I did spot little Nugget Jr. in that last photo. He is a colorful little character. 🙂
Thank you very much, Lavinia. Well spotted
I do enjoy photos of any of the Nugget lineage. The robins we have in the Land Down Under are a pale shadow of those in your hemisphere.
Thank you so much, Yvonne
What a wonderful thing! I didn’t realize how much I’d been missing Nugget until I saw Junior. He bears the family colors well.
Thank you very much, Linda. Nugget adopted us when a fledgling: his progeny later, so a tad less tame
Found him! I’ve said this before but your robins are so much cuter than the ones we have here in the northeast US!
Well spotted, Barbara. Thanks very much
Gorgeous robin photos, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Clare
Sweet!
Oh, there’s someone in Nugget’s place now, how lovely.
Thank you very much, Arlene
Sweet photos of a friendly and smart little Robin who must be related to Nugget.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Good to see Nugget Junior in the garden loved by his ancestor. He is in the approximate middle of the frame, a tad lower though, at the edge of the path.
Well spotted, Uma. Thanks very much
We have had a starling nest in the roof for 20 years now. I must admit we ignore the science and assume it been the same bird each year. So happy returns Nugget.
Thanks very much, Gary
Yay! Nugget junior! So sweet!
Your name lives on, Jill. Thanks very much
A lovely little bird, it is very cute how he is inspecting the work that’s going on in his resident garden.
Thanks very much, Aletta
Spotted the little fellow.
My prior comment appears lost. What a golden nugget he is.
Indeed. Thanks very much, Cindy
What a delight to see Nugget junior in the garden.
Martin is doing well out there, splendid job!
Thank you so much, Sue. The robin was a Godsend – I am too full of a cold to have gone anywhere else – Ellie brought it home and I was the last to succumb
I hope you feel better soon, Derrick.
I will, Sue. Thanks again
We have put a mirror in the garden and a pair of blue tits spend hours every day in that spot, they are either fascinated or confused.
Thanks a lot, Andrew. Probably both
Yes I could see him with the general area to look. Glad to see Nugget pictures. I have garden birds. The first one showed up about four years ago. And this year there were five. They live the garden especially right after I till or Wrangler mows the lawn.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
I spotted him right away! Cute little multitasking supervisor while gathering wiggly treats.
Thank you very much, Eugi. Well spotted
Most welcome, Derrick.
Nugget Junior is very easily spotted, and I am glad to see that he is back.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are most welcome, Derrick.
And the series continues… Good to see him.
Thanks very much, Rupali
What a welcome sight! I have missed Nugget, and it’s cheering to see Nugget Junior. And I did spot him on the edge. That flash of red gave him away.
Well spotted, Laurie. Thank you very much
How cute is this! I love that the little Nugget, jr. is keeping and eye on things!
Thanks very much, Dwight
You are welcome!
Nugget Jnr – working like a trojan on that removal job. 😀
I just love your little robin photos.
Thank you so much, Sherry
What a cute little fellow ❤️ loved all your robin photos Derrick.
Thank you very much, `Miriam
