European Robin Chick

Erithacus rubecula

Description:

The male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. Juveniles are mottled brown in colour. After two to three months out of the nest, they grow some orange feathers under their chins and over a similar period this patch gradually extends.

Habitat:

Woods, gardens and parks.

Notes:

Found this grumpy looking little fellow in my garden. He couldn't fly that well yet and was still being fed by his parents. As you can see he was very well camouflaged.
