Erithacus rubecula
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
and never stops at all." ~ Emily Dickinson
This National Bird and a common favourite is easily recognised by most people. The Robin is a plump bird with bright orange-red breast, face, throat and cheeks edged with grey, a white belly and olive-brown upper parts ..... the sexes are very similar, if not identical, though some texts suggest that the brown forehead is "V" shaped in females, and "U" shaped in males, though even this is not always apparent.
