The Robin
Erithacus rubecula
|
The robin is common almost everywhere and strongly territorial for most of the year. I never tire of seeing this bright bird in and around my garden throughout the year, and as you can imagine have taken many photos.The robin measures 14cm, the brown back and wings with red or more accurately, rusty-orange face and breast, distinguish it from all other species.It's song is crystel clear, and is a melodious medley of high pitched trills and warbles.This one is perched on one of the numerous new seed boxes placed in the trees,pausing a while to warm up after getting wet in the rain.

To są moje ulubione ptaszki i dziekuję za jego cudowne zdjecie. Pozdrawiam.
These are my favorite birds, and thank you for the wonderful photo. Yours.
It's a charmer, with a red breast, you couldn't beat it.
What a brilliant photo Soniija. I love to hear and see this bird too.
Have a wonderful sunday.
Such a cute little bird. Who would ever imagine he was the culprit in the childhood ditty - "who killed cock robin?"
Hello my dear Sonija! It 's SPRINGTIME,sunny lovely days at least...
I love this wonderful Robin picture,cute and tender!Warm hugs,Rita.
cute robin
Robin is a very nice birdie, a harbinger of spring!
Butterfly in previous post is amazing! Congratulations!
Many greetings!
i just love these beautiful pear-shaped birds of yours!
The robin is among my most favorite of birds...I love their beautiful song :)
Fantastic picture, Sonjia. I love the Robin. His colour is so beautiful and he makes a shy impression, although his behaviour is far from that. Do I see a fly in his beak? Greetings, Joke
So beautiful with his orange tummy...
I miss robins...........oddly enough I had a dream about them last night.
Oh my! He really is "breathtaking!"
a lovely photo, and such a pretty bird!!!!
Giga

I don't think you can beat them Bob.It's always a thrill when I see them, and they make such pretty Christmas cards:))
Marijke
Thank you Marijke:)Their song, and striking coloured breast is always such a cheerful experience, especially on dull winter days.
Today looks like it's going to be a lovely day.
We have a pair who visit our feeder and a pair of chaffinches who I expect you see regularly too. The Robins are braver though.

Stiletto
Cute, but aggressive when guarding his territory, however he's not the guilty party in the nursery rhyme:))
Rita Vaselli
Hello Rita:)So pleased you like this little robin picture. Yes, at last we are getting warm and sunny weather, and nature is responding in all it's glory. It's good to get outdoors again!

Hi Sonjia, A beautiful photo and wonderfully lit! They really are delightful little birds. There is usually one in my garden and I don't think I ever go on a walk without seeing and hearing them. It is our national bird and adorns most of our Christmas cards :-) sending warm hugs :-)

very cute birdie)))
Have a great week!

Querida Sonjia, el pequeño petirrojo de tu foto me ha cautivado, es uno de mis pájaros favoritos. Tengo una acuarela de un petirrojo en mi blog, te invito a que lo veas (en Labels pulsa animals)
Un abrazo fuerte, Sonia.
Nancy
Hi Nancy:)They are called red robins, but in reality they do have rusty orange breasts, and it's always this flash of colour which first catches my attention.
