A European robin redbreast, Erithacus rubecula, perches on barbed wire in a field in Yorkshire, UK. The man-made ugliness of the barbed wire contrasts with the natural beauty of the bird. Robins are common birds of gardens and woodland, and feature on Christmas cards as traditional symbols of the festive season.
