Robin

Robin - Robin Erithacus rubecula

The red breast makes identification easy but it can be told even in silhouette , by its plump shape, upright stance and habit of making abrupt movements. These birds sing throughout the year because they will occupy thier own territory during the winter.In order to defend their winter territories, the females have to sing and display just like males do.

Indeed a delight to watch.

  1. Good Shots… Why only one leg is visible in all the photos – probably got injured…

    BTW, Red Robin is one of the food joint I liked when I was in US.

  2. You have a very good pair of eyes. The bird did have a handicap - one leg only. I should have mentioned this in my write up.
