Just processing cuttings of tender perennials when this robin decided to join in and entertain me with some delicate song.
(Erithacus rubecula)
Le mâle et la femelle sont presque identiques, avec une couronne, des ailes, le dessus et la queue de couleur brune, une bande grise sur les côtés de la gorge, un ventre blanc et la fameuse « gorge rouge », plus précisément de couleur orange foncé tirant vers le rouge. L'identification des jeunes peut se révéler difficile, car il leur manque la tache rouge et ils présentent un plumage brun tacheté ressemblant fortement à celui du jeune d'un membre de la même famille, le rossignol philomèle. Le rouge-gorge est légèrement plus petit qu'un moineau avec une taille de 14 cm et un poids de 16 à 22 grammes, il est rondelet et haut sur pattes, ses yeux noirs sont également caractéristiques. L'âge maximal d'un rouge-gorge est de 12 ans.

The adult European Robin is 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 in) long and weighs 16–22 g (9/16–13/16 oz), with a wingspan of 20–22 cm (8–9 in). The male and female bear similar plumage; an orange breast and face (more strongly coloured in the otherwise similar British subspecies E. r. mesophilus), lined by a bluish grey on the sides of the neck and chest. The upperparts are brownish, or olive-tinged in British birds, and the belly whitish, while the legs and feet are brown. The bill and eyes are black. Juveniles are a spotted brown and white in colouration, with patches of orange gradually appearing.
Because of high mortality in the first year of life, a Robin has an average life expectancy of 1.1 years; however, once past its first year it can expect to live longer and one Robin has been recorded as reaching 12 years of age. A spell of very low temperatures in winter may also result in significant mortality. This species is parasitised by the moorhen flea, Dasypsyllus gallinulae.

Remember The Jackson Five including Michael and their song "Rocking Robin"?
Well, here he is singing along.
The ones on the right are not chicks, they are ornament;)
Managed a trip out to Leighton Moss today with 'er indoors, as she now has only her foot in plaster and now walks with the aid of a crutch. The weather was beautiful and the sun obliged.
This little chap(ess?) was also very obliging and did it's best to pose in the tree.
I was taken by surprise when this little fellow decided to join me in my garden today...he was so friendly and came within a couple of yards from me.
I have tried for years to get a good robin shot, and there I was, sitting on a tree stump, watching a squirrel play, when this robin landed at my feet and just stared at me. I actually had to back up a bit to get it in focus with my telephoto..it was that close!
