The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the Robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be a chat.

Nests in hollow stump, bank, crevice etc.\nMigratory in N Europe.\nWary but by no means shy.\nFood: insects, snails, worms.\n\nThe Robins we see in Winter are mostly migratory birds from N Europe. \nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.$
