The robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a passerine bird in the wheatear group (Saxicolinae). It is a common breeding bird in the Netherlands and Belgium. Some of the breeding birds migrate to southern areas in winter. Numerous birds from the north appear in their place, which spend the winter with us. The species is then present in many places and does not shy away from human proximity at all. On the contrary, our labor in the garden produces a lot of insects and worms. The robin is very popular in Great Britain. It's almost a national symbol there. Perhaps because of its popularity and its general appearance in winter, the robin is increasingly regarded as a Christmas symbol. And as such also depicted on Christmas stamps.
