Originally posted by womble The two photos were taken a day apart. It is a robin of the British variety. Thanks for the kind comments. K.
I thought the bird in your photo was some kind of Robin, although I wasn't sure being a novice birder. The main difference that I noticed, was the black hood or head of the American species, and the orange head of the British one.
As you probably know, we, here in the states have had a very cold, snowy, brutal winter, and most of us are glad it's over.
My point to all this, is that I saw the first robin of spring on March 28th, and once again realized how much I like birds, and bird watching.
Here's a link to the American Robin.

For those interested, click on, "European Robin," in the second sentence, and a photo of the British subspecies will be on the right if you scroll down a little.
Thanks very much for the info, Womble.
