10,000 Birds

JANUARY 3, 2020

A European Robin ( Erithacus rubescens ) from British Birds and their Eggs by John Maclair Boraston (1909). The robin’s famous red breast really is more of a rusty orange, but the word “orange” wouldn’t enter into English from Old French as a color name until the 1510s (and it was probably even later that the Welsh adopted the cognate oren ).

As I watched, it slowly moved into a patch of dried vegetation and I noticed that it was settling over a single egg. Two or three eggs may be laid and either bird may incubate. The nom de blog Redgannet was adopted to add an air of mystery and to make himself more attractive to women. What a bird and stunning shots.
