📱 eBook en inglés THE ROBIN

Acclaimed naturalist and birdwatcher Stephen Moss brings us a year in the life of Britains favourite bird - the robin.

In The Robin Moss records a year of observing the robin both close to home and in the field to shed light on the hidden life of this apparently familiar bird. We follow its life cycle from the time it enters the world as an egg, through its time as a nestling and juvenile, to the adult bird; via courtship, song, breeding, feeding, migration - and ultimately, death. At the same time, we trace the robins relationship with us: how did this bird - one of more than 300 species in its huge and diverse family - find its way so deeply and permanently into our nations heart and its social and cultural history? Its a story that tells us as much about ourselves as it does about the robin itself.

No other bird is quite so ever-present and familiar, so embedded in our culture, as the robin. But how much do we really know about this bird?

There is no doubt that Mosss book, with its charming cover and quaint illustrations, will make it into many a stocking this yearThe Times
