7th June 2015 - Baby Robin

I am not sure of the ID of this little bird but from the stance and the skinny legs I think he looks like a robin. Does anyone know - are they speckled like this when they are young? He is all on his own and is in the garden all the time - feeding well on meal worms.
It has now been confirmed that this is indeed a young robin. Thanks for those of you "in the know"!! LOL!!

For the 30 days wild theme

Many thanks for your great comments and Favs on yesterday's shots - much appreciated!!

So pleased to see this on the PP this morning! Many thanks for getting it there!

Gayle, There is quite a difference between your baby robin, and our baby American robins. I posted a picture of the baby robins outside my house today. I think your variety is sweeter looking!

Fantastic capture. So clear and sharp. Fav

How pretty! Your chosen DOF has made the background objects so softly blurred, putting all the focus on the gorgeously lit baby bird.
