28-1-2019 BARX, VALENCIA - EUROPEAN ROBIN (Erithacus rubecula)


The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a small, familiar songbird known for its bright orange-red breast, brown back, and whitish belly, though juveniles are spotted brown. They are highly territorial, fiercely defending their space year-round, even singing at night under artificial lights or loud noises, and famously follow gardeners for worms. Robins eat insects and berries, build mossy nests in cavities, and are a popular symbol of Christmas in Britain, notes A-Z Animals.
