Following the loss of Bob at the end of the first book, Tony feels the grief of his friend and reflects on what happens to those who remain after a loved one is gone. As tony continues to work the garden, he discovers a new robin that he suspects is related to Bob - Bobbin. With Bobbin well established in the garden''s territory, Tony observes the quirks of this new relationship. Bobbin pairs up with Bobette and Tony observes the two of them, just as Bob and Betty worked together during the mating season a few years back. But when Bobbin disappears, Tony fears the worst. Bobette now has fledglings to care for and so Tony does what he can to help out the fiercely protective mother. But while he cares for Bobette, Tony notices other visitors in the garden too; he is regularly visited by blackbirds, long-tailed tits, and more. Through the changing seasons, he delights in these new friends and provides insights on how he makes the garden attractive to his regular companions. Both heartwarming and reflective, this new book from Tony celebrates the quintessential British garden, and the garden birds that call it home.
