Hello,
I leave aside the macro for an attractive rougegorge of province.
Order: Passeriformes
Famille: scientific Turdidés
Nom: synonymic Erithacus rubecula: chicken, magnon fouroule, magnon sensitive to cold(nervous), magnon frilleuse magnon, Roodborst ( Neerl), Rotkehlchen ( Alle), Pettirosso ( Ital), Petirrojo ( Espa), European Robin, Rödhake ( Sued )
Size: 14 cms
Scale: 20 in 22 cms
Weight: 16 - 22 g
Longevity: 15 years

Behavior: the red fills sing mainly to attract the female and mark its territory, rather early in the morning, put on an exposed perch. Sometimes, it sings at night if turns out a lit(switched on) streetlight. He(it) sings all year long, excepted in the end of the summer when it moved. Its autumn singing(song) is more quiet and less strong than in spring. It sings so very hardly when a predator is in approach( I confirm it to you, this image was realized thanks to my cat which was quite close. Even if it is not interested in birds, the red fills approached to frighten it, that is why I made a success of such an approach).
When he it is on the ground, it takes a raised(drawn up) posture. It shakes its wings and its tail permanently. It flies from a low perch in the other one by fluttering. When it is on the alert, it shakes and raises(draws up) its tail.

Hi Gaetan,
Wonderful shot of this robin. Natural colours and sharpness. Perfect lighting, POV and DOF. The BG is smooth and presents its natural environment very well. I like its pose as well as the glint on its eyes. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Very sharp and clear image of this Robin, apparently carrying food for its little ones, Glem.
The details on the bird and the branch have come out very well.

Bonjour Gaétan,
Bravo pour cette prise extrêmement détaillé et bien exposée de ce superbe oiseau. En plus, tu l'as attrapé le bec plein :) Les couleurs sont superbe. Il est peut-être un peu tro centré à mon goût mais ça n'en demeure pas moins, une excellente photo, bravo!

Hi Gaetan,
You have a very nice robin in your country. Say thank you to your cat for distracting the bird and allowing you to get close shot. I did not get to go fishing. We are having much rain.
Your photo has excellent exposure! The colors of the robin are rich and well saturated. Focus is outstanding with excellent detail of robin and the branch from tree. The DOF is very good and I like the blurred background. Outstanding composition with a very nice frame.
Have a good week and maybe you go fishing next weekend.
Ken

Bonjour Gaetan, vous avez un merle très gentil dans votre pays. La parole vous remercient à votre chat de distraire l'oiseau et de vous permettre d'obtenir le projectile étroit. Je n'ai pas dû aller pêcher. Nous avons beaucoup de pluie. Votre photo a l'excellente exposition ! Les couleurs du merle sont riches et bien saturées. Le foyer est exceptionnel avec l'excellent détail du merle et la branche de l'arbre. Le DOF est très bon et j'aime le fond brouillé. Composition exceptionnelle avec une armature très gentille. Faites aller une bonne semaine et peut-être vous pêcher le week-end prochain. Ken
