What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Around the Hutch, there are a lot of these wee birdies... one of Britain's favourites! The Robin can be a feisty wee fellow and likes to let you know you're on his (or her) territory. They'll look you right in the eye, too... remember this one?


Yes, they are characters, right enough. During the darker months, that bright red breast and cheerful shrill call help to lift the spirit.

  1. What a cheerful looking little chap, so different from our American Robin which belongs to the thrush family.

  7. He looks bright and cheerful to look at and he sounds bright and cheerful to hear. I can imagine several and sitting listening to them sing. He's adorable

  10. I have travelled the world and seen many birds, some so spectacular as to defy belief, yet few, if any, are as universally loved as the European Robin. And I share that sentiment unabashedly and wholeheartedly. Quite a song too.

  11. Ohhhh UK Robin is waking the town and telling everyone he is in charge. What beautiful feathers.
    Our Robin is probably twice that size with the amber/copper on the chest but body is basically black.

  12. Such a sweet song from the cute robin. We think your robin is cuter than the American robin.

  14. gorgeous little gardeners friend. Mr B works every winter to get the latest robin to take meal worms off his hand. They are territorial little fiends and fight off the competition for a good garden.

  15. Perhaps I should add that they don't always build their nests in the most sensible of places and Tigger was not a friend to robins. We often had to try and fence off the woodpile, or pieces of he hedge where a cat (any cat) could easily reach the robin nest or catch an adult on the way in or out.

  18. We do love our native Robins and they certainly ruled the roost around the bird feeders I used to put out at my old job. I always like to think of them as sending a hello from over the Rainbow Bridge. I see Robin's so rarely these days, unfortunately around our way their are so many cats that birds rarely come to the feeders in our garden unless the weather becomes harsh xxx
