About These Birds
Archer's Robin-chat
Archer's Robin-chat is a medium-sized robin-chat from the Horn of Africa, weighing about 23 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. It inhabits dense scrub and thickets in arid and semi-arid environments, typically remaining well-hidden within vegetation. Like other robin-chats, it forages for insects on or near the ground and delivers a melodious song.
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.
