I'm surprised robins are so common as I hardly ever see them, even though I live in an area with plenty of trees, bushes and grassland. They are a delight as they're so pretty and dainty.

I see quite a few robins but rarely see a wren.  Mostly magpies and collared doves round here.  Plus blackheaded gulls of course.
