The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher. 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.
Finally we got our Internet connection back late this afternoon! Moving over the Christmas period was not a good idea! This is just a quickie but I shall be uploading more pics soon!
Bonding process - male has just fed the female. The size difference is probably due to carrying eggs.
Sitting out on the deck photographing Gold Finches, I turned the camera on this robin only to find it is helping to keep nasty critters out of my lawn. The robin is welcome to come dine anytime it wishes.
My wife and I took a stroll along the Ouse Valley Walk this afternoon, it was nice to see some sun at a weekend.
