Robin Redbreast.

The first time I have managed to get near enough to the bird table & actually get a clearish shot of a bird !!
I think on the whole robins can be quite tame & this one was quite happy for me to stand reasonably near.

[Robin Hall]

Lovely shot.
Robins are indeed quite tame and happy, but they are all wonderful.

[Anna]

a very lovely shot too-you managed to get close but didn't forget about this composition - it's just perfect:):)

Pat, Years ago when my daughters had rabbits.... I had one that used to come and watch me clean our rabbit cages...I used to feed him by hand !

[Jenn]

Great shot Pat! Good for you! Your robins look much different than ours. Look at all the feeders you've got going there! The birds must love you!

[Pat Knowles]

@shutterbugger Harry minds the feeders Jenn & we do have lots of birds visiting !

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft You are still looking then Phil ...I will be the same when I finish I think !! I bet you loved that robin!

[Pat Knowles]

@nyusha They are a lovely bird Anna & often seen on the British Christmas card !!

[Pat Knowles]

@twiddlepin Love robins too & your namesake Robin so must be quite a favourite with you !!! I only got your tongue in cheek meaning after I had written about the namesake bit !!!!

[Jennifer Jones]

Beautiful colours - and I like the way the birdtable frames a bit of the landscape behind. Very clever!

[Judith Greenwood]

Those birds look very well catered for Pat!! And he's rewarded you with a lovely photo. Looks like a beautiful day up your way - and here actually but I only got rubbish bird shots!!

[Barb Smith]

Beautiful shot, Pat. The composition is wonderful as well as that gorgeous bird. Our robins look much different than yours. I'll have to get a bird book out and take a look.

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat yes still looking Pat, cannot wait for your no. 365.....are you doing a year 2 ? I feel quite liberated not having to think about a picture every day...I took Ruby for a walk at dinner time 'without camera' :)

[Louise]

Really effective composition, I agree with Jennifer about the way you've framed the landscape beyond with the bird table.

[Margaret Gozzard]

lovely

[Davie France]

Well done for getting him to pose. He looks so fat, mind you, that maybe he just couldn't move!

[Graham Harcombe]

Superb shot, and well timed too!

[James Verdi]

Wonderful shot. Our robins are gray, where yours are brown.

[eva]

Fantastic colours!! Great shot.

[Rick Schies]

I can't wait till they show up here.

[fife]

Lovely shot! Quite different than the robin's the states. Not as much red on the robin's in the states and their faces are mostly brown. Watch out for the Robins @twiddlepin speaks of. . they can be tricky. ;-)

[Pat Knowles]

@winemonologues Ha Ha!!!

[MonicaE]

I love everything about this picture. The colors, the composition, the cute bird, the lovely background. Fav.

[Margo E. Dearbhail]

interesting to see, as they are different from our robins!
