i see theres some confusion on my part. despite searching, i just realized theres 2 kinds of robins, american and european. you learn something new everyday!
I'd lay down next to the bike and slowly move the barrel towards him, when he peeked inside to see if there were any goody's in there for him.. BANG. Goodbye Mr robin.
i had the same thing happen a few weeks ago at cwm carn!,i was sat on my bike waiting for the uplift and a robin just sat on my front tyre i dont think i've ever been so still and silent in my life...
