resident robin

Yesterday, he befriended Ray who was digging in the garden. This morning he flew in and perched on the fence long enough for me to take a few photos. I was ready for him as I have been watching his comings and goings for a few days and had put my zoom lens on the camera.

 

And kept the camera ready on the side near the patio door.

 

Robins have a delightful reputation (think Christmas cards) but I understand in reality they are very territorial and can be quite aggressive. Their autumn song, which somehow always reminds me of 'Watership Down' is a manifestation of their intent.

 

Whatever their character, I always find it a treat to capture one on camera.
