Emma Bridgewater Dawn Chorus Robin 1/2 Pint Mug

The musical robin decorated by hand on our Dawn Chorus Robin 1/2 Pint Mug deserves its place here as it’s one of the first – and last – to sing in order to attract a mate. Making all that noise uses energy so the strongest male is likely to produce the best songs. If, like our robin, you’re an early bird, make tea in your hand decorated mug then check your bird feeder is topped up with crumbled suet or fat balls – because there’ll be no chirping on an empty stomach. The red-breasted robin’s song starts with a long horizontal note, so cup your hands around your bird-patterned mug and listen out for this little garden bird to get the morning chorus off to a flying start.
