Common resident and winter visitor.

The three Breeding Atlases confirmed breeding from every tetrad covering Stevenage.

Early, “nest building” was recorded from Stevenage on 24 February 2021.

The 2012 Winter Atlas confirmed their presence from all 11 of the tetrads covering Stevenage.

At Watery Grove they quickly exploited the fairly high cut style of coppicing carried out in the wood by the Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust in the 1970s, increasing in numbers which have been maintained. They were recorded by the Common Bird Census as holding breeding territories annually between 1972 and 1999, with a maximum of 18 territories being held in 1981.

A first year Robin ringed at Henlow, Bedfordshire on 4 December 2011 was controlled at Broadwater on 10 December 2011 and was possibly a winter migrant. A juvenile ringed at Fishers Green on 11 July 2008 was re-caught at the same site on 6 February 2014, the bird then being at least 5 years 6 months and 27 days old, the County longevity record for this species is 8 years four months and 30 days
