I'm under surveillance!

This week I am trying to regain control of the garden. At first Pup prevented me doing anything in the garden in spring, then we had weather that alternated between very hot (too hot for energetic work outside!) and very wet (ground too wet to stand on), and now a week's holiday - all this has meant that the weeds are growing like - well, like weeds, with perfect growing conditions! So yesterday and today I have been trying to make a bit of an impression. I thought I was alone out there but obviously my every move was being watched; someone was keeping an eye on things. I pulled out a whole heap of weeds, then as soon as my back was turned I heard a little fluttering sound. I looked around and there was a robin right behind me. S/he (males and females look the same) had obviously been watching carefully to see if I might unearth anything tasty, and it must have been a veritable smorgasbord out there because the robin kept coming back for more.
