LITTLE BIRD BRINGS PLEASURE TO MY DAY
ALAN WRIGHT
Happy man and robin

I AM now at the beck and call of a robin that demands food from me every morning in my garden.

I did mention the robin in another recent column, but old age means I am now repeating myself and repeating really good stories is great, isn't it?

Robins are our most recognisable bird. I challenge anyone to go on Pointless and not identify a robin - well it would probably be in the high 90s from the survey of Pointless participants.

When I come in through the garden gate there is movement out of the corner of my eye, behind the tree and then on the branch in front of me.

Bright and colourful, this is my daily pleasure.
