Robin

Erithacus rubecula

Robins  with their brightly-coloured breasts and song are easily discernible. Males and females look identical. Their diet consists of worms, insects, spiders, fruits and seeds. Males are very aggressive when guarding their territory against intruders. Because of a high mortality rate in the first year the average life expectancy of a Robin is just over one year. Once past the first year life expectancy improves.
