Shows a nesting family of robins from spring to autumn. Mrs Robin builds a nest of grass and twigs in a pine tree. Four eggs hatch out, and feeding the fledglings is a full-time job for the parents. Before winter finds them migrating south, the robins rear a second family. Suitable for primary level.
