I've been waiting for this... my first Robin sighting...I pride myself every spring to be one of the first people to see one. I'm sure I'm NOT the first but I like to kid myself to thinking that these springtime birds are flaunting themselves just for me. I saw 2 on my lawn early this morning...still not daylight completely but it was obvious. I felt like they were bouncing along the grass, looking back at me to make sure they were spotted! Sigh...feels good to know that spring has officially landed - on my lawn, mind you!

I can appreciate this post! I saw my first robin last week and instantly started jumping up and down with excitement!
This doesn't look at all like the robins we have at home so I went and checked the RSPB and this is an American Robin - the robins here in the UK are chubbier and not so dark
I never realised they were different - and also we have ours here all year long
How curious - I never knew!!

Too funny that they are different and here I thought they were just "robins". Either way, ours are a welcome sight!!
Talk soon :o)
