Description
The Robin of British Isles (Erithacus rubecula melophilus).
The distinctive orange breast of both sexes contributed to the European Robin's original name of redbreast (orange as the name of a colour was unknown in English until the sixteenth century, by which time the fruit of that name had been introduced). Now that is something new that I learnt today. This image was captured at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
