Robin on Post Mug

A little baby robin eyeing up a tasty treat below him. The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a charming bird, common throughout Europe. Its bright orange-red breast and gentle warbling song make it easily recognisable but it remains an elusive, shy bird throughout much of its range. Yet in Great Britain the robin has made a friendly pact with gardeners and backyard birdwatchers alike and the species is tamer there than it is throughout the rest of its range.

Robin

Today we associate robins with Christmas, and the bird always appears on Christmas cards. A common explanation is that the Victorian postmen who delivered Christmas cards wore red uniforms, and were nicknamed "robin redbreasts". So people associated receiving their cards with robins. The truth is probably much simpler, for the robin is most visible at Christmas, when its bright red breast, which the bird puffs out to keep warm, brings colour to drab surroundings, and the male begins to sing loudly to attract a mate. It is also in the depths of winter, when insect food is scarce, that robins are most tame. So robins have always been as much a part of the Christmas scene as snow and holly.The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.

The dabchick or Little Grebe - latin name: Tachybaptus ruficollis - is a small and pretty wetland bird that is fouond in most of Eurasia and Africa. It mainly eats fish and other aquatic animals, caught by diving in stints of up to 50 seconds underwater. It often associates with ducks and it may follow Hippopotamuses (Hippopotamus amphbius), catching the aquatic life it disturbs. Like other grebes it sometimes eats its own feathers as they act as a protective wrapping for fish bones, protecting the bird from harm when it regurgitates pellets. This original photograph of an immature Dabchick floating on a lake was taken in a bird sanctuary in South Africa and is in color. The pale bill with the vertical black band near the base of the lower jaw and the pale tan and brown feathers are clearly visible against the grey blue water of the lake. If you're looking for the ideal card to send a boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse that you've broken up with and miss terribly, then this fully customizable card is ideal.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is one of the smallest of birds. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings. They can also fly backwards, and are the only group of birds able to do so. Their name derives from the characteristic hum made by their rapid wing beats. This note card features a hummingbird on a branch, silhouetted against a lovely blue sky.

The tufted duck is a medium-sized diving duck, smaller than a mallard. It is black on the head, neck, breast and back and white on the sides. It has a small crest and a yellow eye. In flight it shows an obvious white stripe across the back of the wing. It breeds in the UK across lowland areas of England, Scotland and Ireland, but less commonly in Wales, with most birds being residents. Numbers increase in the UK in winter because of birds moving to the UK from Iceland and northern Europe.
