Robin on a Frosty morning London SE22..

            Small garden birds are particularly vulnerable when the ground is frozen solid or covered in snow. Robins, wrens, sparrows, dunnocks and are all susceptible during the harsh weather. Take the robin for example. It needs to eat a third of its body weight every day just to make it through the night.Small bodied birds such as wrens, goldcrests and long tailed tits can be particularly badly hit by extreme cold and frosty weather. Birds below 10.5g have showed significant reductions in numbers following a harsh winter, as they do not have such high levels of fat reserves and struggle to keep warm.

To survive the harsh weather, songbird species have been known to put on weight to prepare for the cold winters, with many species reaching a peak during December and declining afterwards.
