In a recent UK poll the Robin was voted as the wild bird we most like to see in our English Garden. This little chap stays all year. He gets food and clean water all winter. And in the summer months he keeps my apple tree free from greenfly and bugs that like my apples too. A timid little fellow – but he will attack any other Robin that invades his territory. He has a little family now and they make plenty of welcome noise.
Golden Oldie: Leaning Towers—It’s Not Just Pisa!
Pisa’s is the most famous, but Paul Heymont shares a collection of leaning towers that have a slant of their own
Just in case you are wondering who got no votes – this is our most hated bird. The Magpie. He will destroy nests , attack other birds and small pets.
A good choice.
I’m not sure which are less liked in Canada — Magpies or ravens.
