    They are indigenous to Spain but think the problem might be habitate as they love scrub,bushy hedgerows and the like so possibly more common in the northern regions of that country.

    I had read (can't for the life of me remember where) that robins in the UK are exceptional in there close association with humans and human habitation. Their continental cousins are much more skitterish and tend to be more country dwellers than the UK population.

    This one was especially friendly last week in Cumbria.

    Just when you think everythings fine, life slaps you in the face.
