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.
Atlas Flycatcher
The Atlas Flycatcher is a small Old World flycatcher breeding in the Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa. Weighing about 12.6g, the male shows bold black-and-white plumage typical of the pied flycatcher group. It inhabits mountain woodlands and olive groves, catching insects on short aerial sallies from exposed perches.
