One of many that seem to be about in my garden. I must study them closer to see how many different ones I am seeing.
The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the Robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be a chat. Around 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north.
The term Robin is also applied to some birds in other families with red or orange breasts. These include the American Robin (Turdus migratorius), which is a thrush, and the Australian red robins of the genus Petroica, members of a family whose relationships are unclear.
Hello All,
Still finding it hard to keep up with flickr and all my contacts updates, when I do get on I only have time to rotate through few contacts updates at a time, but through the week I try and go through all my main contacts and comment on as many as I can.
Robin
I do photograph a fair few Robins……as we all do…lol
But I rarely post them…..so here’s one.
I like this for the pose…..it’s has some grubs in it’s beak but was still making a lot of noise.
