Robin - Erithacus rubecula
In the 1400's when the Robin was named the colour orange had not been classified and this is why we say that the Robin has a red breast and not orange. America has an eagle so it's about time the UK had the Robin as its national bird !!!!! As the first British postmen wore red coats they got the nick name 'Robin' or 'Redbreast'.
