It's December, so here's a cute fluffy Robin that I photographed yesterday at a grey and cold RSPB Greylake in Somerset. 😊🐦

@Carlbovis I love Robins we have them here in Colorado in our yard. I look forward to each spring when they come out and nest.
@robinbrenizer @Carlbovis But the Robin in Carl's UK photo is so much more red breasted than ours here in the western US! Makes me understand the nursery rhyme, "little robin redbreast" (The photo needs an alt text verbal image description though.)
@robinbrenizer @Carlbovis Since @Carlbovis is a bird book author, I assume he can clarify. Apparently American immigrants from Europe named a different bird "robin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_robin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_robin. I think it is the American version that is more of a rust color than red!
@Gaythia @Carlbovis haha that makes sense
@Gaythia @Carlbovis I didn’t think it was a Robin. Ours have red breasts and gray bodies. This one is orange and white on my screen
