ERITHACUS RUBECULA

European Robin
Rotkehlchen
Rouge-gorge

This is probably the most photographed bird on this site.
I understand that well because it is soo cute!

I'm not a bird specialist, but sometimes it happens that a bird is on my way and quite close, which makes a picture possible. Yesterday I was walking along the river Aar, when I saw this little bird on the ground just beside the river. The Robin was busy looking for food and didn't seem to notice my presence, which allowed me to take some pictures. It was cold weather and no sun, it's why the colors are more in the grey palette.

Ciao Anne,
ho fotografato molto questo simpatico uccellino in quest'ultimo periodo, favorito anche dal fatto che in un caso ho trovato un soggetto particolarmente confidente; trovo splendida questa immagine per la posa melanconica, melanconia che per me significa osservare le bellezze che ci circondano con struggente serenità, trovo molto bella anche l'atmosfera soft dalle tonalità delicate.
TFS.
Bonne soirée.
Maurizio

Hi Anne
Nice capture. Good details and natural colors.
Regards.

Oui, c'est la star de TN mais on ne s'en lasse pas surtout lorsqu'il est bien présenté comme c'est le cas ici! J'aime beaucoup les couleurs et l'exposition naturelle. Même s'il semblait que le soleil n'était pas au rendez-vous, tu as tout de même capté d'excellents détails dans une belle proximité et composition. J'échangerais bien nos Merles d'Amérique avec les vôtres :) Bravo!

Yes Anne, indeed, is the most fotographed bird and I think all we have al least one picture with european robin;
Your is so cute, a small ball of feathers, I like it!
The colors are very natural.
Regards, Oana

Hello Anne,

Your bird looks a littel bit sad but shown in a very fine photo. As the image is sharp plumage can be well observed as well as nice details of the body. Colors are rendered in delicate color tones with a fine match between main subject colors and background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hallo Anne!

Du bereicherst Deine Palette mit einer neuen Art von Aufnahmen. Offenbar bereitet Dir auch diese Art von Fotografie keine Schwierigkeiten! Das Bild ist technisch perfekt und auch vom Aufbau her gut gelungen, wobei mir vor allem die Haltung des Rotkehlchens gefällt. Der Umstand, dass das Rotkehlchen auf TN oft gezeigt wird, beeinträchtigt den Wert des Bildes in keiner Weise. Dies ist Dein Rotkehlchen, und es gefällt mir.

Grüessli

Markus

Ce sont les plus mignons des petits oiseaux, nous n'en avons pas ici. Quelle belle photo, Anne, j'aime les couleurs très naturelles et neutres, avec la tache orange de la poitrine de ce petit oiseau. Ils ont une allure toute "bonhomme", très bien capturé! Merci!

Francine

This is a superb shot of this beautiful bird.I love the pose and the clarity in this shot!
Way to go, Anne!
Cheers!

P.S. Thanks for your kind words

Hello Anne,
I missed this fine capture of a Robin taken from a great POV with excellent sharpness and lighting against the OOF wintery BG. It is unusual to see a bird image from you, but when you post one it is superb!
Thanks and best wishes,
Ivan

Hallo Anne,
da übertriffst Du wieder einmal meine Künste. Das Vogelportait ist Dir hervorragend gelungen. Gute Körperhaltung, gute Hintergrund, und so nah dran. Gratuliere!

Herzlich grüsst Dich
Dieter

Bonsoir Anne,
Ton 'Bird' est véritablement une magnifique prise de vue.
La netteté, les couleurs, et l'air qu'il prend...
Bravo et merci pour ce petit 'noizeau' si mignon
Amicalement
Laurent

European Robins are always beautiful, Anne. I love this one you shot in such a nice pose.
Am I wrong in assuming that it would be the same chalet in the mountains from which you have already shown us quite a few snow-bound landscapes in the past?
Have a nice time there and don't forget to give us another batch of those enticing mountain scapes for our pleasure and enjoyment.
Warm regards,
Ram

Hallo Anne,
Der sieht ja putzig aus, möchte sich wohl als Haustier anbieten.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

A beautiful little bird Anne,
I love the cute look of the European Robin, it looks so dainty when compared to the robins we have in the States. You have done a marvelous job of capturing the fine detail and colors of it's gorgeous plumage. Excellent composition and perfect exposure!! Well done!!
