Robin Redbreast - Erithacus rubecula
This European Robin was taken at The Outlander Set near Newtonmore in Scotland. My understanding is that although this Robin is Orange there was no word for orange when it was initially descibed. But of course i could be wrong.
The European robin, known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that belongs to the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in the west and south of its range, and migratory in the north and east of its range where winters are harsher.
