16. The Robin
(Erithacus rubecula)
|
There are few birds
more familiar or better loved than the Robin or Redbreast. Its
song delights us nearly all the year round. It comes with charming impertinence to take food not only from the birdtable but from the windowsill. It
is only when it
has a nest on its mind that it becomes shy and elusive. Here we have
a family in
a nook of the ivy on the garden wall, the old bird diligently feeding
the young
ones in their immature spotted plumage.
