Of all birds which enjoy any protection from man, perhaps the Robin is most prominent. His bright colours and sprightly actions, together with the sundry nursery tales in which he is favourably mentioned, con- duce greatly to place him in more security than his congeners.

. Rural bird life of England : being essays on ornithology, with instructions for preserving objects relating to that science . Birds; Birds. THE ROBIN. Of all birds which enjoy any protection from man, perhaps the Robin is most prominent. His bright colours and sprightly actions, together with the sundry nursery tales in which he is favourably mentioned, con- duce greatly to place him in more security than his congeners. Unlike most other soft-billed birds, the Robin remains with us throughout the year: he lends a charm to the wintry landscape, and in summer graces the smiling face of nature with his presence. He is also one of our few perennial musicians, his song being heard the year throughout. We find the Robin close to our habitations ; in the most secluded haunts of the deepest woods, far from the busy hum of men; in the farmyard, the field, and garden, the plantation and shubbery, the country lane and shaded dell, and by the side of the murmuring rivulet. In all these situations.
