Robin Red Breast - Fun Christmas cross stitch motif

Hello everyone,
Today we have a pair of cheeky red breasted Robins getting ready for Christmas.
I really couldn't decide if he looked better with or without the crown (or is it a party hat) so I decided to include both versions in this post.

I love to watch the Robins in the local park. They are very bold birds for their size and quick too. You have to be really watching out for a flash of red to see them.
