Day 6: Orange - 'Robin Orangebreast'

I think this is a baby robin. It was interested in our elevenses' chocolate cake but not bold enough to flutter down from the wall.
Awe, So cute. great capture.

How gorgeously dishevelled! He'll need that chocolate cake to be ready for winter!

This is really a great shot.

Poor chap he does look scruffy - moulting is a tough time for birds. I don't think feeding him chocolate cake will help - I've been eating it for years and I haven't grown a single feather! Nice shot.

@glenmoor Thanks for comments. Aha - so not a baby then?! We ate all the chocolate cake ourselves - (and I definitely prefer you without feathers...........)

such a cute little bird . We do have them in our garden to. Mostly only seen in wintertime.

@pyrrhula Thank you. This shot was a gift as the robin just appeared on the wall as we were having coffee and cake. I like robins in the autumn when they have a very distinctive little song - often heard in our garden.

Cute wren - candid bird are often the best. I like how he looks like he has smacked into wet orange paint. Lovely capture.

@doblaine Thank you - I realised afterwards that I was subliminally influenced by your blackbird and hoping for a swan with a bright orange beak in our walk by the river - but I got a little bird instead!

@quietpurplehaze We always have to dream big to get small surprises - even if our "big bird" dream turns into an orange smashed wren. The photo is just as rewarding and beautiful.

@doblaine David, you make the nicest comments! (I'm not joking.) If I encounter a swan with a beautiful orange beak after orange week, I shall post it anyway, of course! (now you've given me the idea)

I agree, well captured. Love the orange that stands out on this little fella's feathers.
