I had today of work so i thought i would sit in the garden at 7am to see what was about. I can tell you not a lot!! Other than this new young Robin . It seemd surprised to see me and has been about all day . It will get its red coat next winter . Today has been hot with a lot of sunshine so when it cools down i will go out and see if i can find any Butterflies up on the chalk downs .

Robin ( Erithacus rubecula ) Length 14cm.
The Robin is one of the most familiar and popular garden Birds of all. The Robin is an aggressive species with the males sometimes fighting to the death to defend their territory.
The male and female are almost identical with brown crown, wings, upperparts and tail, a grey band along the sides of the breast, white belly and the famous red breast which is actually a deep orange colour. Juvenile Birds can cause confusion as they lack red in their plumage, being a rather dull spotty brown in colour.
Robins sing all year round, defending summer and winter territories with their fluty melodic song.
The Robin can be found in almost every garden as it is one of the tamest Birds, happily feeding alongside humans as they work. They will often take live food such as Earthworms or Mealworms from the hand.
Breeds from March to August building a cup shaped nest from grass and leaves lined with hair. Lays 4-6 pale blue-white eggs lightly spotted with red and incubates for 13-15 days. The young fledge after 12-14 days. They often have two broods

Hi Nick,

Aren't you glad you were in the garden early in the morning? This young Robin is magnificent - I'm not sure I have seen one like this before. You captured him perfectly with beautiful colors and shadings and exceptionally fine details of the face, eye and feathers. The background and composition are superb. I hope you will see more of him and show us how he looks as he matures.

Jane

This is a superb shot!I'd say your morning went very well!
I love the beautiful pose and then, of course, there is that Nick Glenn touch of excellence!
Thanks so much!

A delightful image of this appealing little bird. Details captured are clear and a pleasure to look at. The assortment of colours of the plumage is super and very noticeable. The catch light in the eye is an additional bonus. Focus and sharpness is great and can only but appreciate this fine image. Thanks for sharing.
