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.
Black Redstart
The Black Redstart is a compact, robin-sized bird; males are sooty-black with a distinctive rust-red tail that is constantly shivered, while females are gray-brown with the same rusty tail. It breeds across Europe and Central Asia from the British Isles east to the Himalayas, inhabiting rocky hillsides, cliffs, urban buildings, and railway yards, wintering in southern Europe and Africa. It feeds on insects, berries, and small invertebrates.
