Robin (sun bathing)

Whilst photographing peregrines I had a blackbird and a robin both come to sunbathe beside me. When I first visited Bolton and photographed this bird I thought I'd get it feeding from my hand. I am sure with meal worms it would have done. Unfortunately other people were around and cramping my style but the robin did sit by my tripod legs whilst I had the camera lens pointing up at the church for peregrines. A couple of times it sunbathed at my feet. You can't ask for more from nature...or this lovely robin. I did get covered by an army of ants when I did the low shots.
