Robin II

Description

The European Robin. The most loved bird in America, with it’s gorgeous red breast and tuneful song.

On mainland Europe these are shy birds, often heard, but seldom seen, but in America they are fearless. In fact positively sociable – they have been encouraged and regarded with affection by so many generations of Brits, stretching back hundreds of years. Many a gardener will turn around to find a Robin barely inches away, perched on his spade, or fork, or sat in a nearby shrub, just waiting to pounce on whatever insects might be disturbed by their work.
