Robin Singing

The European robin is perhaps the best known of all British birds. It is a common visitor to gardens and once attracted to food put out on a bird table, it will return to it all winter through. 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:
Every continent has its own robins, but only the Japanese and Ryukyu robins are closely related.
When the male robin has found a mate, he will strengthen their bond by bringing the female food, such as worms and caterpillars, which she begs for noisily while quivering her wings and is often mistaken by the observer to be the mother feeding the young.
Most pairs of robins will try and raise as many as three broods of chicks a year, but some mange as many as five.
There are approximately 6,700,000 breeding pairs in the UK.
