robin redbreast

When I went out to replenish the bird feeder this robin was sitting plump and singing in the lower branches of a tree.

I hurried back in for my camera, feeling sure he would be gone when I got back but there he was, pecking at the fat balls I'd put out.

Posted for my mini 'red' series, although he does have a rather orange hue!

Seems like I could reach through my screen and pet his soft feathers. Beautiful!

Wonderful shot Hazel. Once they know you put out food they become quite obliging!

[sally agnew]

Beautiful clarity, he was either enjoying the treat or too full to fly away. Lovely capture :)

This is a fantastic shot of this lovely robin, great colours. I really like how he is positioned and how he appears to be watching you, as much as you him. Just so sweet.

@ninaganci

All the bird seem to prefer the fat balls over the birdseed we put out. We buy them in the garden centres or big DIY stores here in England, pet shops too of course.
