I haven't posted a photo of a Robin for ages...............so I thought today was a good a time as any :-))

This was taken during a walk around the Petersfield Heath Pond in Hampshire, on a sunny (but cold) day back at the end of January.

Luckily the café does a superb cup of hot chocolate and a great oat and raisin cookie (both of which we may have sampled)!

Günter Klaus, Trevor King, Berny, Nouchetdu38 and 22 other people have particularly liked this photo

Good choice Keith. You have captured the little bird so beautifully and with great detail.
Hot chocolate and cookie sound just right on a cold but bright day....
.....or actually any other day ;-))

Hope you have a good and sunny Sunday Keith.

There Robins always look gorgeous Keith. The other day I was planting a new holly in the corner of our garden and the moment I moved away, down came our robin to see what I had disturbed. Wonderful quality to this and the light speaks for itself. Well done.

Enjoy the coming week. Herb

Thank you so much Herb.

We also have a "resident" robin that follows us around when we're gardening. Such a lovely thing to experience.

Robins are regulars in our garden but they spend a lot of time in disputes with neighbours. If only they could learn to share :-)
2 years ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Thanks Colin...............not much chance of a Robin sharing, unless it's with a mate. They're extremely territorial and surprisingly violent sometimes. Apparently they sometimes even fight to the death!

I love Robins..........they always make me smile. Glad you like this shot Güni and thanks for your lovely comments.

Sadly, I no longer have that lens.........I was finding it too heavy to carry around, so rarely used it in the end. I sold it earlier this year.

Ja,so Tele haben auch den Nachteil,dass sie ein Gewicht haben lieber Keith,mein Tele wiegt alleine auch 2.2 kg und wenn man Kamera mithat,hast du immer 3 kg in der Hand,hört sich mal nicht so viel an,aber man merkt es,wenn man länger unterwegs ist,man trennt sich auch nicht leicht von solchen Objektiven :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

I'm glad you understand Güni. Giving up photography is not an option for me...............so I have to adapt as I get older!
