A Robin perched atop a wooden post.
The Robin, easily recognised by its red breast and affinity for human environments, is among Britain's most familiar birds. Found year-round across Britain and Ireland, excluding the highest peaks, its breeding population grew in the late 20th century and has remained relatively stable since. While resident throughout the year, Robin numbers increase in winter as migrants from northern and eastern Europe arrive. In harsh weather, several often fiercely compete for food at bird tables.
