Stonechat - Saxicola torquata
Robin - Erithacus rubecula
The Robin - Erithacus rubecula
Arguably, the UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas!
Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown.
Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders.
This Robin photo was taken at Warnham Nature Reserve in December 2010
The Robin on the right and below - photos were taken in the Summer of 2010 at Pulborough Brooks RSPB site.

Bohemian Waxwing - Bombycilla garrulus
Another photo of the Bohemian Waxwing - one that is just landing on the top of a 'berry tree' (sorry but not sure of the name of it! The Waxwing's do like Rowan but I am not sure this one was a Rowan.
Bohemian Waxwing - Bombycilla garrulus
This photo was taken in December 2010 at Jacobs Well, which is close to Guildford in Surrey. It snowed shortly afterwards and in typical English fashion took us three hours for a 40 minute journey home due to no gritters being out!
