Robins: Not just for Christmas! | British Trust for Ornithology

A close-up photograph of a European robin perched on a thin tree branch. The bird has a bright orange-red breast and face, with grey-brown wings and a pale underside. It is facing slightly to the left, with its feet gripping the branch. Bare branches and a tree trunk frame the scene, while the background is softly blurred, suggesting an outdoor woodland or garden setting.
