It does seem to be his RBF.
The female blackbird also just followed him into the greenhouse but, unlike the robin, she made a meal of getting back out. Birds.

@MiaMarkTwo don’t they just. This one gets into everything too. Was down under the decking with the OH the other day.

@helenclayton Being stalked for food by wildlife 😂

@MiaMarkTwo he’s just hopping around the greenhouse atm 🙄. This was just as I watched a vole…also in the greenhouse.

@helenclayton You'll have to try to train him as a vole deterrent.

@MiaMarkTwo well the vole did scarper when the robin went towards them.
spiegelmamaspiegelmama@infosec.exchangeJun 29, 2026, 6:39 PM@helenclayton I love that he's taken your coffee hostage. Just so that you know the stakes. 😂

@spiegelmama he’s very smart 😅
MissConstrueMissConstrue@mefi.socialJun 29, 2026, 7:34 PM@helenclayton Well. How very dare you. 🐛
Jun 29, 2026, 9:36 PM@helenclayton I have no idea what crimes against nature you’ve committed but it does feel like a concerted effort :)

@nifta yes, the squirrel has been after the peaches in the greenhouse again. OH threw water over them several times. Have picked the last of the peaches now.

@helenclayton Hmm does seem like they’ve joined forces
- Helen Claytonhelenclayton@mas.toJun 29, 2026, 9:46 PM
@nifta it’s a worry isn’t it. The wildlife has been in and out of the greenhouse with me today. Some more pest than others. I do miss my pheasant friend though. Her mate decamped to the farm next door and took hen pen with him.

@helenclayton Sounds like a losing battle and you need to make some kind of sacrificial gesture!
- Helen Claytonhelenclayton@mas.toJun 30, 2026, 10:18 PM
@nifta I’m not sure there’s anything left to sacrifice…unless you’re talking human 😅

@helenclayton Well.. have you considered a wickernan? 😂
- Helen Claytonhelenclayton@mas.toJul 1, 2026, 5:58 AM
@nifta 😅
