European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
National bird of England
The European Robin, known simply as the Robin of Robin Redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that belongs in the old world flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It conservation status is of least concern concern. Legend has it that when Jesus was dying on the cross, the robin, then simply brown in colour, sang into his ear in order to comfort his pain.
