'When a robin appears a loved one is near' In 2019 Tony Putman was working as a gardener in
Edenbridge Kent when he noticed a bold robin sitting on a branch of an old plum tree. The
robin glanced in his direction as he approached but he didn't move so Tony grabbed his camera
and took a photo. This would be the first of hundreds of photos that Tony would take of Bob the
robin - and the start of an extraordinary friendship that would last for years. As Tony shared
his pictures on his social media account Putman and Robin he witnessed an outpouring the love
- not just for Bob but for robins everywhere who populate our gardens with song and movement
even on the direst winter days. In this book Tony shares his touching journey with Bob and
tells the story of our unwavering affection for these magnificent creatures. This is an
informative book about the life of a robin as well as a beautiful love letter to these
spirited and lively birds - who offer us a connection with nature a moment of contact and a
great source of comfort and joy. - 'A beautiful and touching celebration of wildlife and our
relationship with the little creatures who share this wonderful planet with us. This book is
much needed in these chaotic times.' Abigail Hopkins 'A heartwarming story of connection
this book will inspire you to see nature with fresh eyes' Suzy Reading
