On July 11th, I posted about the "sunning" blackbird,......... our latest friendly visitors have been a young robin and a sparrow, who play and chase each other around the feeding area, then settle down, pecking for crumbs together,.......... this morning the sparrow turned up, had some food, then surprised me, when it went to the same place as the blackbird, sat down, not quite spreading it's feathers but definitely similar behavior as mentioned before ......... this went on for about 10 minutes, then the second surprise of the day.......... the robin turned up, chased the sparrow, and took it's place, with feathers spread........... interestingly not the last surprise, the sparrow stayed, had some food then swapped places with the robin, they did this a couple of times, even allowing me to move and get my camera.
Sorry not very good photo, however you can see the sparrow sitting, and the robin is partially hidden by the lower branch.
I have used a stock photo to show a sunning robin.
