The robins are beautiful. I can just watch and listen to them for hours, if I'm not busy. We have a lot of them here in the summer :)

We get robins who come to escape the cold in their countries; they stay here from autumn to spring, and then they return to where they came from. I always get some in my garden. Thank you for stopping by, Angela:) Regards // paul

I haven't seen any yet but we were invaded by a huge flock of black birds this week. They usually stop here every year in their migration trip. Thanks for the visit to my page. Creative work. Sara

Hi Paul, we have some beautiful birds in Africa but no robins. However although very young (about 6 or 7) remember our one year stay in England and the robin red breasts (I think they called them) and also walking through the woods with my father and collecting blue bell flowers. I wonder how safe the woods are anywhere in the world now - Lovely words, really enjoyed , warm regards, Jennifer.

Thank you for reading and enjoying, Jenny. In Malta we do not have many birds, though migratory ones visit us every year. Luckily robins seem to love my garden! ~ Warm regards // paul

I agree with you, Connie...birds bring us happiness with their visits and songs; unfortunately we do not have so many birds on our island. I hope you are enjoying Christmas with family! // paul

The songs of birds are delightful gifts from God and I love your haiku, Paul. Best wishes in the Contest and have a wonderful holiday with your family. I hope Valentina likes the gift I sent earlier this year. Maybe you'll put it in her Christmas stocking. Love, Carolyn

what a lovely poem Paul, we have robins all year round but they do seem so much more visible in winter:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you, Jan. They say that the same robins return to the same place, so I believe that the ones who settle in our garden are the same from previous years. Hugs // paul

Thank you, Heidi:) In Malta we host robins for the duration of winter because here it is not excessively cold. They depart to go back home in spring. Have a lovely day. // paul
