robin

This little chap came very close to the kitchen window...

This little character arrived on the table, at our picnic, in the grounds of Mount Stewart, Newtownards, Northern Ireland.

Last posting from my recent trip to Fiordland. This male was chirping cheerfully, probably to let us know we were in his territory. Usually taking a (back lit) shot looking upwards through trees/branches is not very satisfactory, but on this occasion the contrast was sufficient to give a clear...

Finally, that teasing Robin perched facing the window for once ... briefly.

which is a much funnier comic than my photos, but I thought the title fit. This Robin spent much of the winter in my garden, but almost always at the far side of the Philadelphus shrub, where I could barely see him :(

This robin was back and forth repeatedly in an effort to feeding its young as they bellowed for more and more.

.... is good. I sure didn't have one in the hand;) The snow had all fallen off the bush, but doesn't he match the colouring of the beech leaves. TTTW

.... well it was a very snowy day and unusually it brought it to my window feeder window side. The Robin rarely comes to this feeder LOL TTTW

That late February morning we woke to all this snow lying and more fell during the day too. Robins look wonderful with this white background, don't they. TTTW Back to May weather.... not very warm yet. Overcast and a light wind.

A Robin with a nice tasty meal.

Those white streaks you can see against the shed wall are snow flakes!! Poor Robin.... but you have to love them, don't you. TTTW

singing hello to the spring... always between some interfering branches

Have a great weekend y'all.

.... as I don't often see them foraging around the feeders. He posed well there too, didn't he. And I see there's another bluey determined to get in on the shot too LOL

I took some pecs of a robin, with some fresh spring colours in the BG

This Robin obviously wanted me to take his picture, didn't he. I do love to see birds sitting in hedges - can anyone explain why? LOL TTTW
