So, first #Robin sighting in the yard today. I'll be feeding them some sterilized eggshells and "gummy worms" (dried mealworms soaked in water for 15 minutes) and other goodies. The local worms are scarce because of the temp changes.

What do robins eat?

"Robins feed on insects (especially beetles) and worms. You might notice one following you about as your dig up your garden hoping to nab a few worms as you unearth them.

Robins can also eat fruit, seeds, suet, crushed peanuts, sunflower hearts and raisins. They particularly enjoy mealworms.

Robins are natural ground feeders, so feeding trays are ideal. Make a mixture of bird seed, sunflower hearts and mealworms, sprinkle it out on a tray and wait for the robins to arrive.

As they’re such fans of mealworms, you can give them an extra helping hand by soaking dried mealworms in water, giving the robins some valuable moisture from the food."

Responsible #foraging guidelines

"Leave plenty behind

"Wild food is vital for the survival of the #UK’s #wildlife.

"Forage carefully to ensure there is enough left for birds and species to consume now and to ensure plants and fungi can regenerate and reproduce. You may not be the only person foraging and plants and fungi need to produce seeds and spores to grow into the next generation."
