Each month will be a post with a picture of a wild animal from the British Isles and Europe, doing something cute and seasonal. It's a light hearted topic that will ease from the spooky and weird subject matters I talk about here.
A robin is perched on a tiny branch amidst the fresh snow. It's red and cute, resting from flight as it appears during the winter. Here are some nice quotes and proverbs about robins.
"The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off and they are nearly always doing it." Frances Hodgson Burnett.
"Young robin do not fall out of the nest. They fly up to it." Chinese proverb.
"If a robin built its nest in a barn, it would be safe there from weather and wind. But it would be almost as unsafe as if it built its nest in a tree, because it would be likely to become the slave of the farmer." Charlotte Bronte.
"I hardly think, sir, there will be much robin in winter." Charles Dickens.
"A quaint and curious bird if the robin red breast. He's neither fit for town nor yet for country. Yet uncombed he protests, ^I'm the monarch of all I survey^!" Robert Frost.
