Nesting season is long past here, our water birds are training to migrate now - the geese fly in formation back and forth training the new generation.
I was on holiday at the beach and I saw hundreds of cormorants hanging together I assume that they are already on their migration path.

Ours i over now, there's a few small Ruddys knocking about but everything else has finished too. I bet the swallows will be gone soon. thats a big sign.

Yes the leaves are turning here, soon it will be only the swans - who do not migrate, the left overs who feed on people scraps, the marsh hawks - through early November, and the seagulls who come in off the coast. Oh and maybe the 7 coots will come back. I hope more birds migrate this year than last year. I hate going to the pond and seeing dead birds in the water.

We do have robins all year round but i much prefer to photograph them in the winter.theyre busy all summer and when they need a help out with food
when its colder i go and feed them. I feel like the pied piper at times LOL i shake my seed tin as i enter the woods and all the little birds apear
following me from tree to tree waiting to be fed

Great shot! Geese, ducks and swans will eat from my hand but not the littles.
I forgot your Robins look different from ours - here is one who stayed the winter due to the bollixed climate and 80 degree October days. [link]

Yes the smaller birds are much more twitchy LOL. our robins are know for being very tame around humans, especially gardeners

Ours are not - they are extremely territorial. I have seen one attack the chrome hub cap of a truck thinking it was another robin. Quite hilarious.

well theyr'e tame to humans, but put 2 red breated males next to each other and you get the same scenario as your Chrome hubcap LOL.
