23rd September 2013 - Robin by pamknowler

23rd September 2013 - Robin

The topic today was Weather. Well its been dull and grey all day - no sun, no rain, no wind and definitely no snow!!
I decided to see if I could catch a shot of one of the robins which have started to come to my feeders in the last week or so. This robin finally obliged and came to the garden but Finlay was sitting under the feeder - in the hope that a bird would drop into his mouth. He is at the back of my garden and I have had to do a tight crop. So pleased he is back with his mate. They were around in the spring but I haven't seen them all summer.

Many thanks for your comments on my shots I uploaded for the weekend. I had a lovely time back in Redhill, Surrey which is where I moved from 2 years ago. Great to catch up with my friends. Its lovely to live near my family but I do miss my friends!!

So thrilled to see this on the PP today!! many thanks to you all for your wonderful comments and Favs which is what put it there!!
Gorgeous robin capture. Fav.

I don't know if I will ever get over how different your robins are than the ones we have. Such a beautiful shot, Pam. Fav for me.
September 23rd, 2013  
I agree with Yvonne! Until I started seeing the different varieties of robins on 365, I didn't know they were so varied! This is beautiful!
