Best places to find robins. When it comes to winter and celebrating the festive season, the image of red-breasted robins is something you are bound to see on cards and gift wrap up and down the country. These tiny feathered friends love to visit our gardens during the colder months, but there are plenty of other spots you can visit to catch a glimpse of the majestic robin. We take a look at some of the best locations for seasonal birdwatching and highlight the best places for robin spotting!

Woodland Areas

Robins love a dense wooded area to jump about in, you’ll often see them hopping from branch to branch singing their distinctive song. Head to local nature reserves or wooded national parks to not only be in with a chance of spotting a few robins, but also enjoy a leisurely stroll amongst nature. These forest walks are a great activity during the winter as they help you and your family get out into the great outdoors during the colder months. Grab a small bag of  dried mealworms to take with you, to help attract robins directly to you!

Hidden in Hedgerows

Many illustrations will show a small robin nestled amongst a few holly leaves and for good reason! Robins love hedgerows as they provide the perfect shelter from the harsh weather. These are often by the side of country lanes or pathways, meaning that longer rambles are a great way to spot robins. Keep a close eye as you walk to make sure you don’t miss any darting around! You could even take some of our delicious sunflower hearts as a treat for the robins you do see. They are known for being very brave when it comes to taking food right out of a human’s hand, so why not give it a go?
