Over the winter Mr B was very pleased with himself: he'd trained a robin to take fat pellets off his hand.
Let him think that.
In reality the robin had him trained like Pavlov's dogs - every time it landed on the fence and shouted, he raced out with fresh fat pellets for it. It didn't come to him-----------he went to it.
I've tried sitting on the nearest fence post. It's a cheeky robin. It knows I can't walk along the top of the fence. It stays just out of reach; nice fat robin like that. I can wait. it will get cocky. It will make a mistake. I can wait.
