LoraHughes, 15 days ago My word, juvenile robins already! #birds #gardening @gardening Outside, daytime at a hedgehog feeding station in the corner of where a grey porch meets a brick house. A juvenile robin is in the middle of the gravel area where the feeder is. It looks around, then hops to the water dish near the brick wall to the left of the screen. It gets a quick drink, then hops left around the frog house next to the water dish, stops, then hops out of sight. A juvenile looks much like the adult, except its back is a mottled brown & the breast is tan with brown spots on it. There's a smidgeon of reddish yellow at this one's throat, but overall, very mute colouring at this stage.
