Robin Redbreast

Often hailed as the nation’s favourite friendly garden bird, robins are a delightfully merry sight to behold in the garden. They are in fact present in almost 85% of our gardens all year round but we tend to notice them most in the winter, as they are one of the few birds that still sing in the colder months. The male and female bear similar plumage; an orange breast and face, 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.
Did you know :
There are other species of bird around the world which are referred to as robins but none of these are related to the British Robin.
Every Robin boasts a unique breast pattern and so it is possible to recognise individuals.
British Robins will not use our typical nesting boxes with round entrance holes. But they will nest in boxes with open fronts. If you wish to attract robins to your garden, you will need this type of nest box.
British Robins are mainly resident birds who rarely move 5 kilometers (or 3.1 miles) from the areas they were hatched. They are a common and widespread bird in Britain throughout the year.
