Hallo TN Friends. My first post here,(have a few photos on TL) and want to share this very shy robin with you.
This bird is not easily spotted, and I am very lucky to get such a pose, and this one was taken in the Kalahari.Hope you enjoy, and feel free to crit or comment.
A few Facts:
Similar to the Brown scrub-robin, Sexes are alike, It perches out in the open and scolds at any intruder, when frightened it flies low, with it's tail fanned, to the seclushion of a bush. They are found in the Karoo part of South Africa.

Best wishes
Jan

Hi Jan,
you started with a nice picture on TN. A nice moment with food in the beak.
the picture is pretty sharp with good details.
But I'm not sure about the composition. it's a bit tight above
and IMO it need some more space in-front and maybe less behind the bird.
Well done.

Welcome to TN.
