As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Robin makes a home for Christmas in London Sainsbury's, to the delight of festive shoppers

A robin has taken up residence among the festive displays in a London supermarket.

The red-breasted bird was first spotted two weeks ago at Sainsbury’s in Chiswick, delighting crowds who have flocked to snap photos of the festive visitor bobbing along the shelves and swinging on decorations, including a giant heart-shaped mobile of his cousins.

Attempts to safely trap the bird and usher him back outside have so far failed, and bosses at the superstore in Essex Place are now under pressure to ensure they do not upset his fans while stopping him from feasting on food.
