[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello.

This was taken this morning after a lack lustre sun rise at hengistbury head.
Its not great but its my first half decent shot of a bird to date.
Maximum respect to all the bird photographers on TN, its much harder than they make it look!

This cute little robin was the only bird that would stay still long enough for me to shoot, in fact it was getting closer and closer to me until a dog ran over and scared the little fella away.

thanks for looking

Hi Ewan. Nice to see a bird posting from you. This is a close up of my favorite bird as you may well know. You have taken it with fine detail and natural colours. A nice pose with its little head turned to one side. well done TFS.

Hi Ewan

I am not much of a bird photographer myself but these Robins can be cheeky. I was out photographing the frost yesterday, turned round and found a robin sitting on my tripod!

You certainly caught the cheecky nature of the robin in this shot. The POV and composition are great

Hi Ewan,

Very nice colours.
Well composed.
Excellent POV.
He looks great on the gorse.

Very well done,
