Robin

A baby robin is called a chick.

A baby robin is called a chick.

Tap to hear one.

A sweet, slightly sad warble. Robins sing at dusk and at dawn.

Three things to know

  1. Baby robins have no red at all. It only comes through after their first proper moult.
  2. Robins sing all through the winter, which most birds do not bother with.
  3. They follow gardeners around because a spade turning soil is exactly what a wild boar used to do.

Where you would find one

Hedges, sheds, and the handles of forgotten garden tools
