Robin

“Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off and they are nearly always doing it.” - Frances Hodgson Burnett

Robin, or robin redbreast breeds throughout Europe, western Asia and in parts of North Africa. In northern Europe, it is migratory but farther south the robin is sedentary.

Being an insectivore, it mainly feeds on insects and worms. Although a robin is diurnal, it actively hunts for insects on moonlit nights or near artificial lights at night. Both male and female robins have red breasts while juveniles have a spotted brown colour.

During the breeding season, the birds are territorial and the red chest of the male becomes even more red. European robins are relatively unafraid of people and often attracted to human activities such as digging of soil in order to look out for earthworms and other insects. Hence, they are considered to be a gardener's friend. The conservation status of robins is of least concern.
