Description:

The work records a year of observing the robin both close to home and in the field to shed light on the hidden life of this apparently familiar bird. It follow the Robin’s lifecycle from egg, through its time as a nestling and juvenile, to the adult bird; via courtship, song, breeding, feeding, migration – and ultimately, death. At the same time the book traces the robin's relationship with us: how did this particular bird – one of more than 300 species in its huge and diverse family – find its way so deeply and permanently into our nation’s heart and its social and cultural history?
