Merry Christmas to all my members and subscribers, hoping you have a peaceful day with family and friends.
Thank you for taking the time to read my posts this year, I'm looking forward to sharing more experiences with you all in the coming year.
Here's a photo of a lovely Robin snapped recently in the Coniston fells.
Robin Facts:
The European Robin is the UK's favourite bird. Latin name is Erithacus Rubecula, they are part of the Muscicapidae family - Old World Flycatchers and Chats. There are approximately 6,700,000 breeding pairs in the UK. The Robin sings all year round to protect their territory and attract a mate. They are adapted to live in poor light and are one of the earliest birds to start the dawn chorus and one of the last to finish at night. Their alarm call is a loud ticking sound to warn others. Robins typically only live for around 2-3 years.
Seasons Greetings.
P.S. A Robin is for life, not just for Christmas. 🎄
Gosh 2-3 years that’s sad 😢
