The message
The European Robin will hop beside a gardener's spade, yet it fiercely chases rivals off its patch. You can be warm and firm at the same time. Be kind today, and hold your line.
Ask yourself
Where do I need to be both warmer and firmer?
The animal
Robins are among the few British birds that sing right through winter, because both males and females defend winter territories.
