Early Autumn Robin On Visit To My Cottage Garden In Scone By Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K early Autumn travel video of a Robin on a visit to my cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire. With its bright red breast it is familiar visitor to my garden. Robins are well known and indeed well loved birds in Scotland and across the rest of the United Kingdom. Robins are hugely territorial all year round. In spring and summer they hold territory for breeding and at other times it’s for feeding. Robins are relatively short lived birds. Nearly three quarters will reach the end of their lives in Britain before they are one year old, and the average is the ripe old age of two years. It may be the nickname we’re all familiar with but not all robins have a red breast. Juveniles of the species have a duller brown breast. They actually grow the red feathers after their first moult. You can see robins all year round.
