Hartsholme Robin

Captured this beauty at the end of our walk today, taking our way out around the lake where we know the Robins tend to be. Heard this chap before I saw him and when he came down and landed on a branch he was so close for my 70-400mm lens, so I had to back away to capture him.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

So pretty. I've seen this bird a lot around here and never where I live. And a couple of days ago, I found out that they do live in my area as well. But I have never seen them.
