Montenegro songbird ID

[Ramon Quisumbing]

I was on a road trip through the Balkans last July, and I stopped at Biogradska Gora national park in the tiny country of Montenegro. Huge centuries-old trees and forest and beautiful Biogradsko mountain lake with great breakfast at the lodge.

I heard and then saw this very loud songbird, which I cannot identify. It was very high up in this huge tree, hence the poor quality of the photos. ID please?





Canon 7D, Canon 400 mm lens, handheld.

It's a Robin

Some people call it a European Robin. There is one singing outside my house now

Thanks for the ID, Paul and Des. I don't know why I didn't make a connection to the European Robin, even though I photographed ERs in Germany a few days earlier. This bird seemed to be bigger, but it was very high up a huge tree. Thanks again.
