The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the Robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be a chat. Around 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north.
The term Robin is also applied to some birds in other families with red or orange breasts. These include the American Robin (Turdus migratorius), which is a thrush, and the Australian red robins of the genus Petroica, members of a family whose relationships are unclear.
Hello All,
Still finding it hard to keep up with flickr and all my contacts updates, when I do get on I only have time to rotate through few contacts updates at a time, but through the week I try and go through all my main contacts and comment on as many as I can.
Robin
I do photograph a fair few Robins……as we all do…lol
But I rarely post them…..so here’s one.
I like this for the pose…..it’s has some grubs in it’s beak but was still making a lot of noise.

The epitome of Christmas that graces many a Christmas card, the Robin is well recognised.
Merry Christmas to all flickr users and those that follow me too. May your 2017 be peaceful.
Robins usually fly away from me, but I stood still for a minute and this one landed just 3 or 4 feet away and even flitted around by my feet. Strange how they sometimes come so close and then at other times keep their distance. This photo is nice and sharp - the close up detail is great! I only made a tiny crop, so you could print this at A3 and it would come out nicely.

A robin which I've never had the pleasure of photographing up so close.
Usually these are gone within the blink of an eye, but this one actually kept on posing for a bit!
Even in the shade, Robins are so beautifully vibrant. This little Robin always follows me round the graveyard. He doesn't tick-tick me off for being in his territory any more, just perches and watches me, which I think is so sweet.

Well this may be one the last of my birds for a while, due to the fact that my hide(toilet Tent £25.00 on E-Bay) blew down with the recent gales.
The toilet tent has been a topic of laughter with family and friends lately, especially when I cut a hole in the side. With one of my sons saying, "But dad, will the birds hear you going". Do you get my drift?
Bits of it were all over the garden, along with some of Mrs Vales panels from her greenhouse (She is not a happy Bunny).
Do you know, I think this bird photography is more dangerous than waterfall hunting.
Well, I think I will go a hunting.

Christmas Robin
A young Robin making the most of the morning sunshine on a frosty morning last week.
Merry Christmas to all the many people I've had contact with on Flickr this year.

It's rare for me to shoot birds, but this little guy was asking for me to take his photo, and as I had the 70-200 mm lens on, my gut reaction was to take a very shallow dof shot. While I really like the dof on the pebbles, I think it would be a better shot if his legs were in focus!
