<< Am I right in thinking that your American Robin is not the same as the
cute,
red-breasted, blob shaped, aggressive, adulterous, philandering,
cannibalistic
bird that our fellow Europeans across 'The Sleeve' allegedly eat for dinner?
The main compost disturber in my patch is the Eurasian Blackbird. >>
You are very correct! The American Robin is actually related to the Eurasian
Blackbird and the songs are also very similar - ans so is their annoying
habit of uprooting smaller Sarracenia. I have also seen Sparrows stealing
Sphagnum from my outdoor bog and using it as nesting material
