Bringing Christmas Cheer

It's been another dark, damp cheerless day - then not just one but two robins graced the garden on the eve of the big day, especially pleasing after reading this a few days ago:


"The Christmas robin traditionally brings joy to bleak winter days. But they may be harder to spot in gardens this year after a "disastrous" breeding season, the British Trust for Ornithology has warned.
A cold, wet spring meant birds bred later and many fledglings failed to survive, the charity said."
