Description
The weather has been too bad to do much photography this week-end had to contend myself with a walk in my local wooded lagoon.. This Robin as you can tell by it's posture was singing so loud!
The Robin has a fluting, warbling song in the breeding season, when they often sing into the evening, and sometimes into the night, leading some to confuse them with the Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos). Nocturnal singing in urban Robins occurs in places that are noisy during the day, suggesting that they sing at night because it is quieter, and their message can propagate through the environment more clearly.
Daytime noise outperformed night-time light pollution as a predictor of nocturnal singing activity in urban robins. Both the male and female sing during the winter, when they hold separate territories, the song then sounding more plaintive than the summer version.
The female Robin moves a short distance from the summer nesting territory to a nearby area that is more suitable for winter feeding. The male Robin keeps the same territory throughout the year.
