[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the Robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae). Around 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north.

The term Robin is also applied to some unrelated birds with red or orange breasts. These include the American Robin (Turdus migratorius), which is a thrush, and the Australian red robins of the genus Petroica, which are more closely related to crows.

Hi Jean,

very nicely imaged the robin and I like it composed with the snowy branches. Nice colors and perefect sharpness, TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

Bonsoir Jean-Michel,
Pas évident cette photo, avec une lumière bien "belge" et malgré que l'oiseau soit assez familier. Défi parfaitement réussi! La netteté est impeccable, tant sur les branches enneigées que sur le rouge-gorge. Une composition hivernale bien agréable au coeur de ce long hiver. Amicalement,
Catherine

Hi Jean,

Great composition with snow and everything.
I like it a lot.
