Robins hatch their young up to three times each summer
During the summer, it’s easy to spot robins hopping, and sometimes running, across the grass busily foraging for insects. Both parents diligently bring food to their young and can nest up to three times during the summer. Yet robins still find time to usher in the day with their cheerful songs, often starting to sing before sunrise.
It’s time for the Berea Celtic Fest!
