Wild (Tame) Robin Redbreast

Took the Granddaughters to Whisby Nature Park in Lincoln this afternoon; the aim was to tire them out so that they sleep tonight.
Half way around, this little chap appeared. He has to be the tamest wild Robin I’ve ever seen. He flitted around us, almost posing on branches, the bench, the fence and various trees. We managed to get so close to him; I swear that if I had had a pocket of mealworms, he would have been eating out of my hand.
Took loads of pictures of him; this is in my opinion the best
Beautiful robin PHIL !

@brennieb Brenda, I swear he was posing for me. Flitting from one thing to another and staring me down. Have never seen anything like it.

Great capture. We have one that visits but always fly's off if I dare to pick the camera up.

@phil_sandford Haha! Think I would have been tempted to pocket him and take him home! Like I nearly did to a mouse I found eating my mealworms thus afternoon!
Just like @rjb71 we also have one that is adorable but completely camera shy.

@rjb71 The one that lives in our garden is the same. Though he did pose happily for my wife (@carole_sandford) this morning for her pic for today on the 365project.
