Missing Robins

[lynbrown]

I feed the birds in my small garden but have not seen the couple of robins for a few weeks. Have they migrated or something? Other birds are still around.

If they have a nest nearby and are feeding chicks, they may be searching elsewhere for caterpillars to feed their young.

We only have one or two robins normally, and luckily one still pops in the garden to pick up food on the bird table then fly off.
He doesnt hang around for long though. Quick nosh and out.

If we start pulling up weeds our robin is there like a flash waiting for grubs to appear. He's happy to stand inches away watching and waiting for bits to be thrown to him.

They won't have migrated. I too have a robin and I didn't see him/her for a couple of days and was starting to get concerned when he suddenly came back. He (or she) flies off with a load of food in its beak, so young are obviously being fed somewhere. I had a lovely little pied wagtail that was quite cheeky, but he vanished about seven weeks ago and I've never seen him since. I'd be interested too if anyone on here knew why the birds disappear. I'm hoping it's not a cat.
