Robin

Erithacus rubecula 14cm

Immediately recognizable, the Robin is one of Britain's most familiar and popular birds.

Robins are a welcome visitor to many gardens, where gardeners often become closely acquainted with their local Robin.

The birds featured here were photographed in the same spot where food was regularly left over a period of several months, and it is entirely possible that the juvenile bird is also featured in its adult plumage in one of the other shots, which were taken some three months later.

Robins make great photographic subjects, as they are both photogenic and confiding. It will be interesting to see if I can add a classic Christmas card image of a Robin during the winter, that is of course, if we get any snow this year.
