They never do when they come to my yard. All I ever seem to get from these birds is just a slit of colour. Still they are an attractive bird and this is a great capture of this handsome one. Many tfs!

Is it me, or are there 'seasons' for seeing these (and your robins)? I don't seem to see them coming in that often, then may get a few people posting them... then it goes quiet again LOL

An excellent picture this one KC - many thanks lassie.
