Description
The Robin: A Year in the Life of a Familiar Bird The robin is a bird that seems to live alongside us, its presence felt in every month and season of the year. With over six million breeding pairs, it is Britain's most common bird, yet how much do we really know about this familiar bird? Stephen Moss's book sheds light on the hidden life of the robin, tracing its lifecycle from egg to death, and exploring its relationship with us. We follow the robin's life, from courtship and song to breeding, feeding, and migration, and also examine how this particular bird found its way so deeply into our nation's heart and social history. This is a story that tells us as much about ourselves as it does about the robin itself, revealing the ways in which our lives intersect with the natural world. By observing the robin in both its natural habitat and close to home, Moss reveals the intricate details of this bird's life, and the ways in which it has become an integral part of our culture.
