Revisiting a trip I took to England in June 2015.
Where we stayed there was a small garden, and one day I was delighted to see a European Robin.
They were and still are very popular illustrations to put on Christmas Cards as you probably know, and I remember them from those cards that popped through the letter box each December. I don't remember seeing them when I was growing up, but then I wasn't as interested in observing birds as I am now. I was always happy to see the seagulls swoop into our garden from the age of 15 onwards, when we moved nearer the seaside, and always when we visited the beach. But I was beyond happy to get my first real sighting of this dear little Robin.
The next day I saw a Common Wood Pigeon...
and also a male Blackbird.
We kept ourselves busy sight-seeing on our English holiday, but it was nice to come back and sit in the garden. Our Robin kept us company quite a lot. We think she may have had a nest in the bushes.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.
