Robin Redbreast (EL-B-RR05)
Possibly the UK’s most famous garden bird, the Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a very common site in UK gardens and parks. Originally known as a Redbreast due to it’s distinct red patch, it was eventually given the name Robin as it was popular to give human names to familiar birds centuries ago. Although perceived to be quite a gentle species, robins are very territorial and aggressive, defending their territory against other birds ruthlessly.

Oxford Island (CR-L-OI01)
Northern Ireland's Lough Neagh is the largest lake in the British Isles. Five of Northern Ireland's six counties have shores on the Lough. It is a haven for wildlife, attracting many species of bird during both winter and summer months. An old Irish legend tells of how the Lough was formed, when Irish giant Finn McCool grabbed a lump of land and threw it at a rival Scottish giant. He missed, and the earth landed in the Irish Sea, creating the Isle of Man.
