Familiar to almost everyone, the Robin was recently voted Britain’s National Bird<\/a>. This is no surprise since it can be very tame and a gardener’s favourite, and of course is a popular symbol of Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientific name: Erithacus rubecula<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the elm-tree’s topmost bough
Hark! the Robin’s early song!
Telling one and all that now
Merry spring-time hastes along;
Welcome tidings dost thou bring,
Little harbinger of spring:
Robin’s come!<\/p>

Of the winter we are weary,
Weary of the frost and snow;
Longing for the sunshine cheery,
And the brooklet\u2019s gurgling flow;
Gladly then we hear thee sing
The reveille of spring:
Robin\u2019s come!<\/p>Robin’s Come, by William Warner Caldwell<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
