The European Robin, Erithacus rubecula, is a beloved British bird known for its distinctive red breast and face, with brown upperparts and a whitish belly. Both males and females have similar plumage, making them difficult to distinguish visually. Juveniles are speckled brown, developing their red breast at about two to three months old. Robins are small, measuring 12.5-14 cm in length, with a wingspan of 20-22 cm. They are highly territorial and can be seen in gardens, woodlands, and parks throughout the year. Their lifespan is typically around 2-3 years.
