SOOC

He posed on the fence for me and because I liked the DOF, I have left this just as it came out. I'm not going to apologise for another robin as I haven't posted too many lately. I was gutted because I missed the shot of my life. I usually walk along Station Road with my camera turned on but in order to conserve the battery as I seem to be charging them so frequently, I didn't turn it on. When I arrived along the path near the swamp leading into Danish Camp, I must have startled a heron because he took off quite slowly and very majestically but my camera didn't fire up quickly enough. It would have been a fantastic shot but I feel like the fisherman with the one that got away! I was gutted!
Another lovely robin shot which must compensate a little bit for the missed heron!

Sweet one and good dof. Short battery life is the negative on these cameras. I always keep a charged spare one in my camera case!

I have been taking a lot of Robins they are very tame and obliging they do like to pose good shot

There'll be another chance I'm sure, and this little chap is perfect.

You'll have to hunt the heron now! But this is a delightful shot of the robin.

@quietpurplehaze @khirsch @princessliz @arncliffe @tishpics @busylady @carolmw Thank you
@caddick No it's funny but I never seem to see him!
@mejbronant I've always got a spare battery with me but occasionally I forget which one is charged up and when I put the spare in realise that it needed charging! What a pain and the trouble is you have to charge the battery in the camera which takes about 4 hours.
@janturnbull I went off looking for the heron in the direction I thought he took but I couldn't find him
