Pretty little robin.
Very nice bird!
Love Robins. Miss seeing them since I can't go out !~
Cute little robin Jenni! They're already building their nests in my trees and laying their eggs.
Lovely creatures, yours and the living ones. They always appear when you turn over the garden earth, looking for an easy worm I guess.
With thanks to you all for the love

Special thanks for your delightful comments
Dave, Wedgwood made really pretty glass animals, and this one has such great colors, the brown reminds me of chocolate sprinkles
Kevin I've about exhausted the Wedgwood animal line & am glad I found a different one to show here, glad you liked
Phil, it's probably best to watch robins from inside anyway, every time I go in my yard for something they are easily spooked & fly away! I often look at them w/ binocs thru the window, though once in awhile they'll notice movement & scatter even then :)
Scott I'm sure you know, as the Spring goes on the robin moms are very protective of their nests and start squawking if you pass under one - we have 8 ft high hedges on one side of the house that robins particularly love nest building in, so I've learned to walk around the other side
sklo42 you are so right, robins love worms best, & when I used to have a seed feeder I never saw a robin at it. We live near the shore so after rains the backyard lawn often gets semi-flooded, and since the earth is so soft you'll see one or a few robins hunting for their worms. They started coming around in March, even though we had a pretty chilly one it's like robins have an instinct that Spring is here
Newfld Well, the things you learn here. I always thought the Robin was a British bird, but clearly not if they inhabit your back yard. I use yard in the American sense.
I know sklo42, I'm constantly learning here too, we all have different experiences and yet similar. There are several types of robin birds, American, European etc. but all seem to have the reddish breast. And I get the terminology difference...here we say yard when we mean our homes are basically surrounded by grass lawn - mine does have hedges, & some flowering trees near the house itself, but a garden (to me anyway) is when you are cultivating flowers and trees in a larger capacity & I'm too afraid of bee stings for that lol :) - Jenni
When the English say yard we mean a small area that has a hard surface i.e. paving, concrete, gravel etc., no grass but perhaps a few pots for flowering plants.
Good to know, thanks! And we might call that type of surface our patio, I used to have one in our last house where I grew potted tropical hibiscus (minimal bees because they have trouble cross pollinating up north)
Many thanks for the kind love for this robin Sean, always very grateful to you
Thank you Bronmar for the love for this Wedgwood robin, so glad you liked it and always appreciate your kind consideration
