Eagle, or birdie?

I love this picture. It came to me today on a emailed press release from the RSPB and made me smile. The golf bag had been left unused in a garage, which had offered the robins the opportunity to move in.
They were left in peace and have raised five young apparently. Of course, press realeases usually have a message and this one was 'selling' the RSPB's 'Giving Nature a Home' campaign.
It has the target of signing up a million people to making wildlife-friendly improvements to their garden, like adding birdboxes, building log piles and giving the lawn mower a rest. I've signed up to convert my front lawn to a wildflower meadow.
