Robin perched on a rose hip branch in Norfolk, England
This European robin looks cozy on its perch here amid the falling snow in Norfolk, England. The charming bird has been associated with Christmas in Britain since Victorian times when postmen in red tunics – called ‘robins’—would deliver Christmas cards. These days the robin is regularly featured on holiday decorations, and the songster remains a year-round favorite. In 2015, Britons affirmed their affection when they voted for the species to become their national bird.
