Eurasian Robin Red-Breast
I have a bit of a goal while I was in Scotland which was to photograph an Eurasian Robin which are very much different then an American Robin. I love my Robins here but I could really fall in love with Robin Red-Breasts as well. They are such pretty little birds.
The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in Great Britain and Ireland, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that belongs to the chat subfamily of the Old World flycatcher family. 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.
It is about 12.5–14.0 cm (4.9–5.5 in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upper-parts and a whitish belly.
Now, I didnt get any video of these little guys but I think next year when I go I will see what I can do about that!! They are busy little birds, just like all birds and they were such fun to find and watch!!
The beautiful song of the Robin!!
