The Robin is the most familiar and most loved of all our garden birds. Indeed, even folk not especially interested in birds will still talk about ‘their’ Robin in their garden. Actually though, it’s the predictable, tame and trusting nature of Robins which fools people into thinking it’s the same bird they see year-after-year, when in fact it’s almost certainly a different individual – Robins have an average lifespan of only around on year, and about one in four never even reach the age of one. Both male and female adult Robins have the same distinct red breast and can’t be confused with any other bird, though youngsters have a speckled brown breast. Small worms, insects, insect larvae and spiders make up much of the diet, plus also seeds, soft fruit and berries in the winter months.

Such a sweet little bird. We have robins as well here as well. They are considered one of the first signs of spring (in places that have real winter. Not here in Florida)

Location
The photo was taken in the woods near Doorwerth Castle in the Netherlands.Time
It was in the afternoon, and probably this Robin was not hungry, for instead of seeking for food it was realy posing for me on this pole.Lighting
The sun was shimmering through the trees leaving a bit of light on the subject.Equipment

Keep distance to birds, not to scare them away, and be patient.
