“Winter’s Robin” by Luca Gray (age 7)

“Robin” by Aoibheann Cronin (age 7).
Aoibheann is an avid bird watcher! During lockdown one, when school was closed, her wonderful childminder bought a bird spotting book and a set of binoculars so they spent many mornings in Deerpark identifying birds! Aoibheann loves lots of birds, two of her favourites are the Robin and the Blue tit, her two entries. She has great attention to detail, you may recognise the gate near the Tennis Courts in Deerpark and the eggs of both birds being the correct colours for their species (speckled blue for the Robin and speckled brown and white for the Blue Tit).
