Hi again, Lisa

Thanks, I see you have lots on birds and wildlife in your blog too. I intend browsing more fully :-D

Scotland is perhaps small but you will always get a warm welcome. Oh yes, and it has a great natural landscape too!

Thanks, I can see the likeness of the coal tit to the Carolina Chickadee. I am enjoying hearing about different birds of the same family especially in different countries. Yes, the coal tits are very fast :-D

It's funny but I find your American Robins interesting too. I suppose it is because they are so different. From what I have read in your blog I am guessing that they are quite like our Starlings coming to the feeders in groups and taking over. However, our European Robin is rather feisty too and is often seen chasing off any other Robin coming into my garden. It is all entertaining to watch isn't it :-D

Hi Shirl, I love seeing the birds and wildlife in ...

Hi Shirl, I love seeing the birds and wildlife in your garden. I have never been to Scotland. I used to read everything I could about it thinking it would be one of my travel destinations some day.

Your Coal Tit is a fancier version of our Carolina Chickadee. The CACH is 4 3/4" (12cm) long. I love the video. The CACH is also difficult to get a decent picture of because it moves just like your Coal Tit. FAST...

Your Robin is so cute and small compared to our American Robin. The AMRO is 10" (25.5cm)L. They migrate in flocks. During the summer their territories are small. Sometimes we have 3-5 nests in our garden. We have several large trees. Before our neighbor cut down all of their mature trees we had even more Robins that fed in our garden. They really battle over feeding ground.
