A Robin and a gob shot in one, what more could you want...

Out walking yesterday with Amy round Wicken Fen when this little guy appeared singing his heart out.

Although I realise Robins aren't particularly popular on here, does the gob shot make it forgivable lol

C&C welcomed.

Very nice shot Ian
I like it even if Robin shots are old hat
Lovely little chap he is

Very nice capture, I never get bored of seeing photos of this bird.

I don't understand the animosity towards these lovely birds, I love to see them in the garden and this is a cracking shot

Another 'like' for robins here. Lovely creatures and very photogenic. Often quite obliging as well - they seem to like having their portraits done.

one of my favourite birds ....... they take an interest in you

Looks like he was shouting at you

Lovely shot, i've found myself getting alot of robin so far this spring and i love them

Plucky, friendly characters. Perhaps there's actually more that like than don't. Think your shot captures their personality really well Ian.

A good pose and often found singing but the background is just too messy

Lovely shot, We have a few robins living in our garden but try as I might, I can't seem to get any photos.

Thanks for the nice feedback guys, was reasonably happy with this one for once

Agreed, but unfortunately not something I could really do much about, he was perched in the middle of a big bush, I asked him nicely to move to a better position, but he just ignored me and kept singing for some reason

Lovely photo and it shows just how late the elderberry is this year too.

just a few comments, rather than critique ................bright light hitting the highlights a little, drag them back a bit, maybe a little over saturated Ian

Thanks Bill, I'll pull both back slightly

Thanks Bill, I'll pull both back slightly

you may then have to lift the shadows/darks a little on the merry-go-round that is post processing

I never get tired of watching robins in the garden and this is a lovely shot.
