Benjamin Yant, when the network’s first foray into documentary programming, Loch Ness: A Historical Review, brought in their highest ratings in well over two years. It came as a shock to all save the network president, Mr. Many believed that this decision would spell the end of the Imagine Network, as it had been plagued for some time with declining ratings and reduced advertising commitments from previously loyal sponsors. Who would turn to a channel which had built its reputation on B-grade horror movies and reruns of old science fiction classics for their nature and historical programming?

However, aggressive territorial behaviour is the norm among many bird species. Fights between Robins can be vicious and sometimes even end in death. Are Robins aggressive?ĭespite their darling reputation, Robins are surprisingly aggressive little birds. Males remain in the same territory throughout the year and are joined by their partners during the breeding season. Interesting behaviours, vibrant colours, and a sweet voice make them lovely birds to watch, even from the comfort of your own home. Their global conservation status is ‘Least Concern’.Įuropean Robins are quirky, lively little birds. Robins have a green conservation status in the United Kingdom and are not considered endangered. Therefore, it is an offence to harm, capture or kill them. This act protects adult Robins, their eggs, and their nests. The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act protects Robins in the United Kingdom. What are the predators of Robins?ĭomestic cats are the greatest enemy of Robins in urban and suburban areas, and wild predators like foxes and Sparrowhawks will not pass up the opportunity to hunt these common birds. The maximum recorded age for the species is an impressive 19 years and four months. Robins may survive for just 13 months on average, but birds that overcome the hurdle of fledging and growing to maturity have a much greater chance of a long life. These birds have a short average lifespan, but their adaptable nature and high breeding success keep their numbers healthy in the United Kingdom.

I loved Jax enough that it was impossible to give up. I wasn't going to let him get away at all. I wasn't going to let Jax get away with it. What he didn't know was that when I didn't like the rules, I threw them out and made my own. He pulled strings behind the closed doors of D.C.'s most powerful political players, and somehow still found time to nearly sideline my career. When it came to playing games, my lover Jax was a master strategist. Bad enough that I didn't mind how much it was going to cost me. In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax. He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth. Had I really thought they were soft and warm? There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their intensity. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly black. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. He'd only been part of my life for five short weeks two years ago. The realization that Jax still affected me so strongly was a jagged pill to swallow.
