Helpful robins.

The last time I opened the compost bin, I found that a colony of ants had decided to take up residence.

The soil was beautifully crafted into a network of tunnels, nice.

There were also hundreds of little ants eggs, not so nice.

 

Not a great picture.

   I have nothing against ants, there was just a shocking amount of eggs and already a huge
                                                               amount of ants.

 I left the lid off the bin and along came a family of robins, parents and fledglings (which were very shy and I couldn't get a photo).

 

 

 

 

 

They had a really good feed, the parents didn't mind me being a few feet away taking photos.

I did while away a good hour watching them.

The housework can wait, moments like these should be captured.
