About These Birds

European Robin

The European robin is one of the most beloved birds in Britain, where it is the unofficial national bird. Despite its friendly demeanor toward humans, robins are fiercely territorial against their own kind, singing year-round to defend territory. Their distinctive song is one of the first to be heard at dawn.

Ashy Flycatcher

The Ashy Flycatcher is a small African flycatcher found in the understory of tropical forests in West and Central Africa. Weighing about 15.8g with a wingspan near 15.8cm, it is uniformly grey with a pale eye-ring. It perches quietly in the forest interior and sallies for insects.
