There’s something pretty magical about seeing a robin out in the wild. That flash of orange-red in the branches, the way they hop around like they own the place—no wonder they’re one of Britain’s favourite birds.
We were visiting family and stopped by the duck pond in St Blazey, Cornwall, a peaceful little spot where nature’s pretty much taken over. With brambles, moss-covered trees, and all sorts of undergrowth, it’s a perfect hideout for birds. But the robin? It doesn’t bother with hiding. It sits right out in the open, almost like it’s putting on a show.
Robins have this friendly, curious reputation, and this one was no exception. It wasn’t too bothered by me, hanging around just long enough for a quick pic before darting off into the bushes. Moments like that are why I love wandering around Cornwall’s little hidden spots—family, nature, and the occasional bird putting on a little performance.
