a country cousin

This robin was singing in a tree by the path beside the church at Meonstoke where we had a walk at the weekend.

He came down to sing in lower branches, flew down and hopped about the ground and then helpfully sat on this post. I got 3 shots of him and preferred this one.
They are such cute wee birds. Excellent shot.. fav

I think they are the most popular bird on 365!!

Ahh there he is! I must admit I can get a bit bored of robin shots, but there is something particularly lovely about this one.

Claire thank you for your enthusiasm. I'm OK, thanks for asking. How are you?

@quietpurplehaze
Oh I have been better, this craft thing is becoming less enjoyable, so may have to think seriously about continuing next year.
January 26th, 2015  
@claireuk

I hope you do mean the craft thing - you must do - not 365.
January 26th, 2015  
@quietpurplehaze Sorry yes the crafting:0)

@claireuk

I think it can be the case that something done for a hobby just when you want to do it, which is then turned into a real commitment, nearly always has a very different 'feel' to it. Good luck, Claire.
