Overview

• Robins are resident across the UK throughout the year, though they can be less visible in warmer months.
• Serviceberry (Amelanchier) is recommended for its summer fruit that draws robins, with advice citing All About Birds and Wild Ones.
• Experts describe serviceberry as a four-season garden asset that supports birds beyond its spring blossoms and autumn colour.
• Bird feeders should be set in a shaded, open spot away from ground-level cover, fences, trees and shrubs to reduce cat predation and stress.
• Avoid placing feeders near flowerbeds or crops due to droppings and disease risk, and offer mealworms, fruits, sunflower seeds and crushed peanuts to keep robins returning and prepared for colder weather.
