\nI took these pictures this morning before setting off through the fresh snow for work. While I was gearing up, this little robin jumped onto my bike, first on the front tyre, then the handlebars and finally on the crossbar.
\n<\/p>\nHe’s become quite tame with the cold weather and we almost had him eating out of our hands yesterday. With a bit more time, I reckon he might trust us enough!<\/p>\n
The pictures show all the snow up here and it was pretty slippery on the bike this morning, with ice underneath the fresh snow making the roads a bit dodgy. The sun is out now, though, and it has turned into a beautiful day. Looks like the cold snap is continuing, however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
