My name is Savannah and we found a robin`s nest in our garden.

The life of a Robin.
One day my mum saw a nest. We didn`t know it had been there for a long time.
After weeks later there were small eggs that had brown spots on them. Two or three months later little robins hatched. When they were ready to fly we discovered that one had died and so we kept it in a box with its nest.

THE  RED DAMSELFLY.
I am reporting from the Apperley interactive news on the red damselfly.


DIFFERENCES. 
This is the male damselfly because it is much bigger than the female and it has
black stripes.


WHEN IT FLIES.
The red damselfly comes out for half a year  but they only live about six days.The
months of the year are April,May,June,July,August, and September.


WHAT IS IT.
It`s an insect with  six legs and it lays larvae called nymphs.

WHERE DO YOU SEE IT.
Did you know that you will find damselfly by pond`s and rivers preferably slow flowing.

Robins are associated with Christmas
 because in Victorian times postmen wore red uniforms so people called them robin red breasts.They were service to the crown and made postal deliveries even on Christmas Day.

Did you know?

Robins don`t fly near mountains but they do all over the rest of Britain.
