Robin (Erithacus rubecula)

Other names: papito, colorada.  It measures some 14 centimetres and trusts man more than other birds. It is worth pointing out the territoriality of those that spend the winter here, in such a manner that they do not tolerate the presence of another individual of their species in their nesting site. It always eats on the ground, selecting insects, worms and molluscs but it completes its diet with fruit such as the young vine, mulberries etc. It nests in holes or cracks on walls or in rocks, trees, etc.
