ROBINS
fly wild at Wolves Lane!
Yes, really!
~~
“Because of high mortality in the first year of life, a robin has an average life expectancy of 1.1 years; however, once past its first year it can expect to live longer and one robin has been recorded as reaching 19 years of age.”
“More recently, the robin has become strongly associated with Christmas, taking a starring role on many Christmas cards since the mid 19th century.“
“In the 1960s, in a vote publicised by The Times, the robin was adopted as the unofficial national bird of the UK. In 2015, the robin was again voted Britain’s national bird in a poll organised by birdwatcher David Lindo, taking 34% of the final vote.”
