Robins can have this shape, fluffy balls.

But they can also have this form:

And something in-between:

They are very flexible when it comes to taking different shapes.

European robin/rödhake. It belongs to the Old world flycatcher family. The American robin (not pictured) is a thrush and is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related. Värmland, Sweden (April 5, 2021).

What are some local birds you can find where you live? 🐦 As always, thanks for all the love on my birdie necklaces! These take me long to make, so your support is the best motivation! 🎃

There are still birdies looking for a nest on my shop 🍄 The chain, rings and clasps are made for stainless steel, so babes with sensitive skin should be safe 🖤 You can find them here guys!!

Alsoooo, this was my first time making acrylic necklaces too. I wanted to give these a try since there are some limitations with what I can do with the clay pendants and I already have so many ideas I want to try with acrylics too 👀

Recently there was a patch of trees felled without warning.

It's nesting season, so it's very dangerous for the birds to destroy their trees. I've already seen woodpigeons mating in the nearby area about a month ago. I've seen birds such as woodpigeons, magpies, great tits, blue tits and a sparrowhawk in the area that's been felled (as well as robins, long-tailed tits, coal tits, blackbirds, goldfinches and house sparrows nearby). I have also heard a Jay nearby before, and one Facebook commenter has said there are nesting Jays. Additionally, it looks horrible - there used to be beautiful trees, and now there's just a thin strip of trees along the footpath, as well as a horrid big hole next to the car park. Our green spaces need more protection.

According to two councillor's Facebook posts, the Forestry Commission are investigating due to no felling licence or planning permission. They have served a Stop Notice. The matter has been raised with the wildlife crime team due to disturbance to nesting birds. The area has been allocated for development, but the felling has had insufficient regard for the environmental impact.

Developers will often illegally fell trees, then take the fine and build houses since it's already been destroyed. However, they could now be issued a restocking order, and would have to replant the trees.

I've seen two messages on the gate to the site protesting this, so I made this piece. If there's public uproar it could hopefully make them think twice next time, even if it doesn't save this one.

I forget where I got these years ago. I think maybe it was @birdsrightsativist on Twitter. Anyway this robin wants you to be its Valentine!

European Robin

Perhaps spring is nature's way of flirting with us as she attempts to secure our full embrace.

Could you fill up this empty heart, clear this obscured mind?
