It is the season of the Robin, so I thought I'd post one that I shot a few days ago in Bushy Park. They are cute little birdies and that's for sure.

I really wanted to get one in the snow and although you can still see a little of it on the wood the warmth of the sun had soon melted all that fell.

I like these guys because even though they are so small they are quite aggressive - I wathc this one as he chased every bird he could away from his patch. I think he was even thinking about chasing me away!

I hope you like it.

Hi Paul,
it's a beauty wiht great POV and pose.
Good details and well composed. It's well seen from the BG.
Great work.

Happy New Year

Superb shot Paul :)
I love these fellows though ours are very shy and I don't see them very often.
Picture is perfectly framed, has great details and lovely colours.
I like the POV and the pose of the Robin very much. He looks like quite brave tenis ball to me if that makes any sense ;)
I would like to see him chasing you away, btw ;)

Excellent capture Paul. Everything works, very sharp detail. Snow? We have temps forecast for the weekend near 80 and a nix on the firework action due to wild fires throughout the state..
Very well done my friend & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Merci Paul.

I imagine that he was eying up you up for a free meal ether by disturbing the ground for him as the natural way of hunting for them, Else where in europe they follow deer and wild boar waiting for bugs and grubs to bedsturbed of coursse he could be hopping to share a snadwich or crisp with you ;0))).
Very much the classic robin shot well done well detailed and sharp.TFS and Happy new Year

Paul,
This one looks all puffed up. Did he get that way after chasing all the other birds away?
The detail is excellent, and the composition looks great!
Thanks,
Dave

ps May you have a very happy new year!

Oh Paul, he is a cutie. I love his roundness and his orange / red breast. Perfect focus and sharpness. Thank you, I love him.
I never realised that they are so small... I guess they've learnt that with their size, the only way forward is to be aggressive!

He is a beauty indeed, Paul. He looks very impressive all puffed-up. You did a good job showing his rich orange chest and the glint in his eye. Congratulations and TFS. : )

Excellent shot of your robin the detail stands out very nicely Paul, the soft background as the perfect touch. Have a Happy New Year! :)

Wow.. perfect sharpness, colors and detail. Beautiful composition and DOF, like it a lot.
Happy new year.
