Description
The Robin is one of the most distinct and popular British birds, and was voted as the national bird of Great Britain in a ballot nearly 40 years ago. They are often associated with Christmas, and regularly feature on cards, wrapping paper and other festive odds and ends! They were nicknamed in the 19th century when the postmen wore red waistcoats as part of their uniform, and were called Robin Red Breasts! You will often hear them warbling and chirping as, unlike some birds, they sing all year round. This was an amazing opportunity as I was sat on a bench in a graveyard when the Robin perched itself right next to me and started to sing consequently I managed to get quite a few good shots of this beautiful bird.
