Red Robin recovery We were on a small break in a small residence around the Dutch coastal area. This Robin flew full strength into one of the windows and blacked out instantly. We took care of it and about 15 minutes later it stirred again. A few minutes later it started hopping and flew away again. What an impact that must have been! Glad to have rescued such a beautiful creature. Never saw one from this close. May your path be favoured further on, Robin!

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.
