Time for Today's #HolidayRobin - #FestiveDailyRobin - Open wide 😀 This Robin looks like it could be singing "hark the herald angels" 😇🎄🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #naturephotography #birdphotography #robin #naturetherapy #ukwildlife #wildlife #bluesky
Photo taken at Forest Farm Nature Reserve, Cardiff, South Wales The song of a robin can be described as a flutelike, warbling melody with a wistful and perky quality. It's a loud and clear sound, especially for such a small bird, and often one of the first songs heard in the morning and the last at night. Key characteristics for a partially sighted person include: The song is a string of notes that rapidly descend in pitch but increase in speed. It flows nicely, with pauses between verses, and some parts include soft trembling or squeakier notes. Each song consists of various phrases, with new verses following one another, meaning there isn't much repetition. Some parts are quick and loud, while others are slower and softer, creating a dynamic and engaging sound. The notes rise and fall in pitch but are delivered at a steady rhythm. Robins are known for singing loudly and can even be heard at night, especially in urban areas where it might be too noisy during the day. The overall impression is often described as cheerful, contemplative, and nostalgic, bringing a sense of peace and comfort to those who hear it. For a partially sighted individual, focusing on the changes in tempo, volume, and emotional quality of the song will help build a vivid mental picture of this beloved bird's vocal performance.

A song thrush singing despite the gloom
The wheezing chatter of goldfinches in the plane trees
The winter song of robins
The hoarse cooing of wood pigeons
Somewhere a chaffinch calls

Day 15 & time for today's #HolidayRobin - #FestiveDailyRobin ~ Portrait of a Robin in dense low light woodland at Forest Farm Nature Reserve - Cardiff - South Wales 🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #naturephotography #birdphotography #robin #birdwatching #naturetherapy #ukwildlife #wildlife #bluesky
A robin can be described to someone partially sighted by focusing on its sounds, feel, and a simplified visual outline of its shape and colours. It is a small bird with a distinctive orange-red chest, a soft chirping song, and a round, plump shape. You can touch its soft feathers to give a tactile sense of the bird and its lightness. It has a cheerful and varied song that is often described as a series of liquid, fluting notes, like a sweet, bubbling stream. It also makes sharp "tuk" or "tick" sounds, especially when it's alarmed or calling to other robins. You can hear the soft rustle of its wings as it flies and the light patter of its feet on the ground. A robin's feathers are very soft and light. You could compare the feeling to a fluffy piece of wool or a very soft, downy material. It has a plump, round body with a short tail. Imagine a soft, plump ball with a short, stubby tail attached. Its head is rounded and small. It's about the size of a small fist. The most striking feature is the bright orange-red on its chest, which feels warm and stands out against the other colours. You can imagine a bright, warm spot of colour on the front of its body. The rest of its back and head are a soft, dull greyish-blue or brown, which you could describe as feeling like a soft, warm stone or a wet pebble after a rain shower.

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday
BlueSky Folks Here is a close up picture of a #HolidayRobin that I saw while on vacation a month ago
Captured on a canon EOS R50
The image shows a European robin (Erithacus rubecula), a small songbird known for its bright orange-red breast and face. The bird is perched on a wooden stump or post, with its feathers dramatically puffed up, making its body appear exceptionally round and plump—like a feathered ball with tiny legs. This puffing behavior is natural for robins in cold weather, as it traps air to insulate and retain body heat. The bird faces directly toward the camera with a stern, intense expression: wide dark eyes staring straight ahead, giving it a comically grumpy or "angry" look. The background is a soft, blurred snowy or wintry white, enhancing the focus on the bird's vibrant colors (olive-brown upperparts, orange breast, white belly) and fluffy texture.
