Rare Robin
“Birdwatchers from all over Britain who gathered in Grimsby to catch sight of a rare American robin were horrified to see her eaten by a passing sparrowhawk.”
That’ll teach us Americans to leave home and go to Europe.
The article described what a robin looked like (this is the BBC after all), but the description, “a member of the thrush family, with oily-black wings and tail” did not bring a robin to my mind.
