Robin our National Bird

For nearly fifty years the Robin, otherwise known as Robin Redbreast , has been our National bird in Great Britain. In 1961 the British section for the International council of birds was tasked to select a title bearer and they chose the Robin.
I think it was a good choice, great territory defenders that are in Britain brave window sill feeders and followers of the garden digger, in stark contrast they are very shy in Europe, not without good reason….they are often appreciated most with Orange sauce, that would be unthinkable to a native of the UK!
A previous painting I did of the Robin in abstract sold very quickly and gets good remarks still, so a second smaller painting has been done.
