As regular Brigg Blog followers know, we don't have a very high regard for the accuracy of modern weather forecasting, given that there's so much 'new technology' available these days to the experts. Instead we put our faith in more traditional methods and so regard the rare visit to our back garden of a red-breasted robin this morning as a sign that snow may be on the way.
You have been warned!

I wouldn't say our favourite bird, the robin, was a rarity, Nige.
They are very territorial and have fierce scraps with little robins to keep them off their patch.
Once they have established their patch they rarely move off it.
They don't migrate* and tolerate humans....often appearing when folks are doing something in the garden.
Perhaps you don't go out into your garden enough, Nige....or did you do something nasty to their grandad?
*A few robins fly across the Channel occasionally....and in very cold weather, Scandanavian robins (slightly different variety) may pay us a visit....but they are less 'tame' and prefer woodland to gardens...and their cheshies are less distinctive.
