The Secret Life of Robins
Red breast. Big attitude. Surprisingly complicated.
Think you know robins? The little red one from the Christmas cards? Perpetually cheery, perching on a spade handle? Think again.
This book peels back the feathers to reveal the real robin: fiercely territorial, unexpectedly clever, occasionally romantic, and often in a fight with their own reflection (they don't realise it's them — and frankly, they wouldn't care if they did). They sing in the rain. They nest in teapots, sheds, boots — anywhere that's quiet and just out of reach. And while you're admiring their festive fluff, they're keeping a sharp eye on your worm-digging technique.
From garden lawns to ancient myth, we follow the robin through all four seasons, uncovering their habits, dramas, love lives, and family squabbles. You'll meet city robins who sing under streetlights and country ones who refuse to share a single berry. You'll discover what your local robin is doing month by month (spoiler: it usually involves worms), and learn exactly what that little tune means when they're giving it full volume at 4am.
There's a guide to what robins really want in your garden, a crash course in speaking fluent chirp, and a generous helping of trivia for the truly obsessed. Printed in full colour and illustrated throughout, this book is perfect for curious bird lovers, nature spotters, and anyone who's ever tried to work out why that robin keeps staring at them.
It turns out, there's a whole secret world fluttering just a few feet from your window. All you have to do is watch.
