Can we come in, it's cold out there

Just over 6 inches of snow fell on Rutland yesterday, the local bird life mainly Robins, a blackbird and Dunnock's sought a bit of shelter, and food.
I fed them first thing before going out with the other ranger opening some areas on site clearing the site of snow,
Got back to the office later we went in for a brew and breakfast the Robins, there were three,, one of them came into the canteen area and just missed shitting on my egg on toast!!, basically every time we made it back to the office, in between stocking 2,000 rainbows for the new season (next Friday) and site clearing, they were waiting for us Last knockings after locking up the rest of the site, one of the Robins flew into the office, with almost a "lock the door i'll stay here" stance, I would have done that , however with the building alarmed, chances are he'd set it off. We managed to coach him out side, begrudgingly.
Did manage to get one of them to feed out of my hand, no image though.
