Our most iconic bird, the Robin, is one of the most characterful and
familiar of all our garden visitors. Their melodious voices, bright red
breasts and cheeky attitudes always endear them to us, but how much do
we really know about them?
Despite their cute appearance, Robins are aggressively territorial and
hold their territories all year. Their year-round presence has helped
them become a beloved and instantly recognisable species. Now, in this
delightful new book, Marianne Taylor provides a revealing account of
their life cycle, behaviour and breeding, what they eat and how they
hold their territories, and she looks into the many cultural
representations of these much-loved little birds.
The Spotlight series introduces readers to the lives and behaviour of
our favourite animals with eye-catching colour photography and
informative expert text.
