Hi Nick,

It's rough having one baby - can you imagine what it's like caring for multiples? He may be tired -I remember those days too - but he is still beautiful. Wonderful pose, colors, details and lighting. I'd love to see the babies!

Hello Nick
This picture is more than worth a show as it shows nature truthfully..The poor parents this time of year take a real battering bringing up thier young and its correct to show the hardship they go through..To me it is nature photography to show both sides be they pristine birds or birds that are having a tough time.
This poor Robin does look a little the worse for wear and you have perfectly captured the hardship and selflessness perfectly.
Great Work

Hi Nick

Lovely shot of the Robin, he does look a bit threadbare, no time to preen when you have hungry mouths.
He is still lovely though and its a great pose.
Nice colours and light too.

Hello Nick,
A superb portait of a worn-out Robin, both technically and esthetically. You raise a good point with this shot: at this time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere we rarely take pictures of birds in prime condition as they all are worn out with their nesting duties.
Thanks for sharing this interesting and fine shot,
Ivan

Hello Nick,
Indeed, it looks very tired. Great expression. Pin sharp details and excellent light and natural colours. The BG looks a bit noisy.
Excellent POV, DOF and composition.

Hahaha! Have you been tiring those birds by telling them to strike a pose too much or something? First the scraggy Blue Tit, I found, and now the scraggy Robin... maybe there'll be a sraggy Nuthatch next :-)
Really nice shot of this worn-out Robin :-D
Excellent colours and warm light.
Superb DOF and BG.
Great composition.

Well done, Nick!

You make me think, Nicholas, that those birds have a lot of work feeding the chicks and that they truly get tired. It never ever occurred to me that they could get tired!This beautiful cute bird looks tired, you are right, and I'm very happy you help him out feeding him. The picture is superb, as usual, so beautiful. Thank you,

Francine
