Last two weeks we’ve had a robin playing mum to a baby blackbird, couldn’t believe it at first but apparently it’s quite common?
Its a fully fledged blackbird so quite big and it looks ridiculous to see a wee robin tending to it.

You 100% sure it is a young blackie, and not a young cuckoo? pretty simillar youngsters.

interesting Bert, it's very blackbird like light brown chest and just forming its tale, I'll get a pic tomorrow it sits there half the day.

I can see the similarity Sandy, it's just the sheer size of the Robin feeding a monster chick. ?
