Another year has passed and Christmas is here once more. ‘The Observers Book of British Birds’ is not a Christmas poem but it does mention the robin, which is one of the traditional images of the season in Britain, along with mince pies and Christmas pudding. The robin, perched on a spade in a snow-covered garden, is a favourite on cards. All through the year, when you pick up a fork and start digging the garden, the robin appears and, thinking you are working entirely for him, starts hunting for worms.

Happy Christmas!
