The Living Forest (179) : Robin
I guess everybody knows this beautiful and photogenic little fellow.
It’s my favourite bird !
The Robin is the only bird that can be heard singing in the forest all year round, even in harsh winter times.
This is because it holds very strong to its territory and always defends it, even to the death (and not only during the mating season).
Unfortunately, cold and long winters seriously affect the Robin population.
Dutch name : Roodborstje
German name : Rotkehlchen
Latin name : Erithacus rubecula

These little birds like many others have such a tough and short life, but they bring much enjoyment with their song and inquisitive nature.best wishes from Lawson.
