The robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a species of bird of the flycatcher family (Muscicapidae). It inhabits North Africa, Europe and Asia Minor as well as the Mediterranean islands.
American Robin interesting fact: the male and female look similar, but the female is a bit duller than the male.

American Robin (Turdus migrators) spent the winter of 2015/2016, surviving on fruit and berry trees along with feeding on minnows in a small wetland in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
As we have now entered the winter of 2016/2017, it will be interesting to see if any Robins attempt to brave the season again.

According to wikipedia:
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.
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.

Well, I know I’ve never been to Spain, can’t say for sure about this little guy, though, what with all the worm holes and Ley Lines in my yard. Actually, he looks a lot like Michelle’s, so the wormhole thing would not surprise me. This could have easily turned into a silhouette shot but with the help of Lightroom I was able to make a beauty shot out of it. So, we started spring with a Robin and we are concluding summer with a Robin. As per usual, there are ten thousand different ways to present this, but I decided to keep cropping to a minimum because I fell in love with the leaves. But as the song says Oklahoma, Arizona, what does it matter …
Robin singing on a rare warmish afternoon in late March and what a lovely song too! March is certainly going out like a raging lion today...due to Storm Katie!
This looks like squeaky clean new plumage! I think this may be one of the first brood of robins in his new plumage. All the baby robins disappeared quite some weeks ago and I did read that this is the time when they moult into their new plumage. The adults around have been looking very ragged. Anyway this wee one is behaving like the babies .. he did everything, short of rugby tackling me, to get his picture taken in as many poses as possible..Lol!! Full of personality!

Robin Redbreast
By: William Allingham
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer!
For Summer's nearly done;
The garden smiling faintly,
Cool breezes in the sun;
Our Thrushes now are silent,
Our Swallows flown away,--
But Robin's here, in coat of brown,
With ruddy breast-knot gay.
Robin, Robin Redbreast,
O Robin dear!
Robin singing sweetly
In the falling of the year.
Bright yellow, red, and orange,
The leaves come down in hosts;
The trees are Indian Princes,
But soon they'll turn to Ghosts;
The scanty pears and apples
Hang russet on the bough,
It's Autumn, Autumn, Autumn late,
'Twill soon be Winter now.
Robin, Robin Redbreast,
O Robin dear!
And welaway! my Robin,
For pinching times are near.
The fireside for the Cricket,
The wheatstack for the Mouse,
When trembling night-winds whistle
And moan all round the house;
The frosty ways like iron,
The branches plumed with snow,--
Alas! in Winter, dead and dark,
Where can poor Robin go?
Robin, Robin Redbreast,
O Robin dear!
And a crumb of bread for Robin,
His little heart to cheer.
