Lovely pictures! and thanks for the memories, I have not seen one of these for over 52 years - since I left The Netherlands for Canada.
There is a robin here quite a bit larger than the European one, which we do get to enjoy in our backyard and even on the sundeck.
Robin Redbreast = Erithacus rubecula
American Robin = Turdus migratorius
Thanks for having a look. The American Robin is really a Thrush - never understood why the call it a Robin but no matter its a beautiful bird. It was on the top of my birding list when I visited the states in 2013.
