Our garden is regularly visited by two to three adult robins.  During the breeding season, we observe a pair of robins raising a brood of young throughout summer.  Currently, in late August, our solitary robin is enjoying a respite from parental duties, perched and singing throughout the day and sometimes into the night.

The Robin

The robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a small, familiar bird found through out Britain.  Its distinctive orange-red breast and cheerful song make it a beloved sight in gardens, woodlands, and parks.

I'd also like to pop in a disclaimer here - I'm a keen amateur, and not a professional botanist, gardener or wildlife expert.  Although I'll do my best to check everything, if you see any errors, let me know.  I have a keen interest in the wildlife that visits my garden, which I love to learn about.
