The bird is an attractive species that holds a place in lot of people's hearts, and the Robin is often associated with winter, and Christmas.

The majority of Robins only live through two winters, which is often enough for a lot of Robins to breed.

They are a very adaptable species, who often pick the easiest way to obtain food, which can involve for example, following a tractor that is turning over the soil, in order to find earthworms and other sources of food.

As well as this, the bird is a beautiful specimen, and would be very interesting to illustrate in my own style.
These are key reasons as to why I would like to include this species in my wildlife zine.
