Description
At last you can see the garden from the robin's POV! It's a typical Venetian walled garden, in the back of a 18th century building. These gardens are hidden from view: you can see them only from the sky. The main gate on the public street opens onto a space once used by coaches. The back door of this space opens onto the garden.
The robin's point of view is very interesting, in my opinion: the bird is relegated in the most hidden part of the back garden. The robin is a very common bird, humble, and its reddish patch isn't garish at all. Here it's made of polystyrene, and hence it's muted, frozen in time like in a suspended life. In my mind it's the humble, muted one, the one whose reasons few care about. The one whose voice has been suppressed.
Thank you for your kind comments.
For those who like to know: Episode 51 of the Canals is posted integrally in the two other sites.

and you conclude this series (if it's concluded, lol, I haven't looked ahead yet!) with a lush shot in it's own right, a piece of photographic art. The lushness of the greens, the verticals, the play of light & shade, etc, are beautiful & truly watched-over by the robin. And while I see your point about him being the humble, muted one—I can feel that—he can also be a silent observer in the Buddhist sense, one who overlooks the universe from his/her private perch and watches it all unfold while he/she remains still & whole, within. (Well, what do you expect from a yogi, lol?) The robin against the red wall (behind) is a beautiful touch. I don't know why I didn't fav all these, but maybe I was waiting for the conclusion: A fav for the whole series, it's just wonderful. And keep in mind that your words are part of the art: They add another art-layer on top of the images. Many layered, very thoughtful, fun, and this is one beautiful shot to boot. Bravo!
