You Know It's A Bit Nippy When........................

.....the local wildlife gets into the car and sits on the heater vents to warm up.

I took this photo of the Robin this morning when i was up at the lakes doing some work, i was putting some tools back in the car, when i saw a Robin sitting on the dashboard warming up on the heater vent, i knew it was a bit parky up there today at -2C, but when the wildlife comes in from the cold, you know it's a bit nippy.

It was a good day for watching the Robins today, even when i opened all the doors to let this little chap out, he still didnt want to go out in the cold, cant say that i blame him really.

A bird with good sense. Must admit I find I'm starting to appreciate the landy heaters at the moment.

You got a posh Landy. Mine takes 20 miles to notice its got one.

Aye, its works though. Its only five years old and things kind of work on it quite well, until they break

Nice one Mark. Lovely stuff

I have a pic somewhere from when i was in the lakes in the snow (camping for a week) and while we were walking to hawkeshead we stopped for a brew, and a robin came in and sat on my shoulder, so i gave it a biscuit fruit from a rat pack and it sat there next to the hexi stove for about 20 mins munching it. it was quite happy for us to be sat 6" away from it. Lake district robins seem very used to people it would seem. Not surprising though.

Brilliant photo Mark. I have a picture somewhere of the angriest bird I have ever seen - it was a fledgling Robin

When was the last time you had a bird in your car?

Might it be that the robin was attracted by the red color of your dashboard? It was defending it's territory

 

[fishfish]
