From Christmas card to reality

Alfie and Charlie at Breakfast

Available for over a year

Thanks to a mild winter the robin is already changing its song from territorial to courtship to attract a female into its territory. The robin's winter song is considered to be more melancholic whilst there is a vibrancy to it in spring. It may look appealing on a Christmas card but there is a dark side to one of our favourite birds, says Chris Watson. PHOTOGRAPH: Kaleel Zibe AUDIO: Murphy Cobbing SOUND: Chris Watson
