Oh, I can't wait for spring when the robin at our lotty comes and
spends time with me.

One of the local ones here kept giving me palpitations a couple of
years ago. I was emptying a compost bin and shuffling the contents of
the next two along, he was collecting to feed a brood at a guess. I
never quite managed to pick up a shovel full with him perched on top,
or to dump a shovel full on top of him, but it was very close, very
often. Interesting watching him deal with centipedes...

Last year I did the bin dance earlier in the season...
