Dusky dinner

Late evening arrived and my robin was still busy catching worms and grubs for his brood. I managed to capture his image in this tree with food held firmly in his mouth. Mmmmmmm!

In the last few years it has been quite noticeable that nearly all species of local birds are active until dark ... they roost at the last possible moment. Many birds, especially in areas where there are orange street lights appear to be singing all through the night and you can often glimpse them taking short flights during the hours of darkness in well lit areas.
