Ah..

Martin...Herein lies the vulnerability of forum and web in general chat , which I find quite frustrating . Lost meaning and worse misunderstood statements etc. , in this case my... 8 ? ..was meant as an exclamation of astonishment - I mean to have 8 robins in one tree like that was amazing. I hadn't counted them. I don't like the exclamation mark as that is, in most most instances of it's use, akin to shouting at peole in writing so I went for the question mark ,maybe it should, on this occasion have been one. Neve mind ,we got there in the end. That's great looking after the birds in the garden like that. I think it literally saves their lives during these severe periods of cold weather.
