Little Robin

I've been noticing little Robin redbreast following me around over the past few days.  Yesterday on the walk to school, it perched on a handrail in the park.  Then again singing away st in a tree in the back garden when I pegged out the washing.  Today it flew around a topiary bush in the park, we stopped it in its tracks and it quickly darted into the bush...

...got me thinking...so googled Robin symbolism...

I found this excerpt from a book called Animal Speak by Ted Andrews:
(I picked out what I think are the relevant bits)

stimulate new growth in all areas of your life. 


the song of the robin is cheery, rolling trill. part of its purpose is to help the robin establish its territory. two males in the same area will puff up and sing with all their force. fights between robins over territory are usually in song. physical confrontations are more symbolic without injury. this is very significant for anyone with this bird as a totem. it reflects a need to sing your own song forth if you wish new growth any confrontations or hindrances are more show than actual threats so go forward. 
the robin lays distinctive powder blue eggs. this is a colour that is often used to activate the throat centre in humans. this is a centre associated with will... force and creativity. the robin egg reflects the innate ability of those with this totem to assert the will and force to create new growth in his/her life. when the robin comes to you it is to help you in this process. it may reflect that you have been doing so inappropriately or ineffectually. eitherway. the robin will show you how to do it sucessfully.

I haven't worked out what it means to me yet, but hey at least it's got me thinking...Nx
