I wonder if robins are the nations favourite bird? I also wonder if there is any other wildlife living there because for me if there wasn't it would not really be a garden of Eden!
Far more important I think was the comment that it is only in the UK that Robins have lost their fear of humans and that elsewhere in their range they are a shy and secretive bird that hides away and avoids contact with humans.
