How nice for you to see the Robins back, heralding the Spring!
Your Robins are very different to ours. Our tiny red-breasted Robins, although they live here as far as I know, all year round, are traditionally a symbol of Winter, and decorate many a Christmas card!
This is the nursery rhyme:
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.
