My first picture of a robin

My first picture of a robin (Erithacus rubecula)

since May 18th, which is a bit unfair to that bird as I often take photos of that species.Thank you for your nice comments on my image of a dunlin.I was sitting on a rock at the top of a beach, taking photos of waders and gulls in the water when this robin kept perching close to me, on my left, then on my right, then close to my feet. It seemed to want to attract my attention. So I ended up taking pictures of him.This may be my last post for some time as I take the night boat to England tomorrow.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Great pose and detail, Joelle; I'm convinced that Robins try to get their pictures taken ;) Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours too,

Posing like that it would have been rude not to take its photo! A delightful image Joelle! Bon voyage and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!
