robin in the rain by quietpurplehaze

robin in the rain

He (why are they always 'he'?) came for his breakfast as we were having ours and luckily I had taken my camera to table with me in anticipation.

It was raining and I shot this through glass with the 200mm zoom lens on my Sony a6000.

I haven't completely abandoned FOR2021 but February is probably the worst month for a daily diet of black and white. So I shall dip in and dip out....
Tremendous capture

Phil, thank you - we dismantled our feeder as we found a rat on it but I missed the chance of a shot of a robin so we hung a seed feeder from the wisteria really near the house. Fingers crossed, so far no rats!

Probably because the plain brown ones are hiding in the nests in the hedge taking care of eggs or young, I guess. I always mix up female robins with wrens or sparrows. Lovely shot in the rain of this gorgeous fella.

Gorgeoues little Robin beautifully captured in all her glory Hazel, Fav ( female robins have a much smaller red breast than males so guessed it may be a female :)

exceptional detail haze, especially as it has been shot through glass. You must be really proud of this

The detail on this little one is so wonderful, and taken through glass. I especially like the reflection on the perch.

I'm really pleased yes, and also pleased to remember how sharp is this 55 - 210mm lens which I don't use that much.
