Is this a juvenile robin?

Yes, I think it is. I've never seen one in the flesh (or should that be the feather) despite having plenty in my garden. They must keep themselves well hidden until they have their bib.

Lovely shot Maggie, where was this?

At the old docks in Govan. August 11th. Meant to ask before but was going on holiday so forgot to post it.

I don't see to many juvenile robins either.

He/she is probably red breasted by now, Maggie! A lovely photo of the juv Robin!

I haven't seen the adult that normally pops down for a crumb of bread for about a month now. (ok. I was away for two weeks)
I'm assuming this is the adults juvenile.
So when the two of them appear, I won't know which is which.

I doubt you would tell them apart now, Maggie! If you do get two Robins, as I do in mine, you will find that one will chase the other away...a territory thing now....offspring or not.lol!!!

I forgot about how territorial they are so I reckon the adult will chase it away
