Was cleaning ground floor windows of a house yesterday using my short pole with a Vikan mono oval brush on (red bristles)

All of a sudden i became aware of a red breasted robin that had landed on next window sill along, anyway thought nothing of it, but as i continued round the rest of the ground floor windows, this robin was following me, perching itself a couple of metres away.

Must have fancied the red bristles on the Vikan !

funny you should say that but last winter I was doing a house out in the sticks and a robin was following me around the the building,   I think it was waiting to see if I desturbed any soil with my boots so it could check for worms afterwards.

they are clever like that and so lovely to watch,  and very terratorial as well.

right thats my nature lesson to you all over now

Was thinking of shoving the red Vikan brush in with my pet Cockatiel next     see if he mates with it !
