Our street must be the place to meet in spring. There were dozens of robins flying around today filling up on the fruit of a few trees.
This one was doing some snacking from the mountain ash in a neighbours yard.
The year before last I joined the local photography group. Not really learnt much but have had 2 days out with them, the first being to Salford Quays. This second trip was to Martin Mere. I bought a used canon 5d mark ii off ebay (seeing everyone with full frame I had to have a go !). On this trip someone let me have a go with their 100-400mm lens. I took so many bad shots, shamefully ! .. but a few good ones. It might go back on ebay if I don't improve fast :(
With apologies to my Flickr friends for a mass upload, but the autofocus on this Lens died on me this morning - commenting not necessary.
I watched this robin get some worms from the grass and then head into the tree and feed them to this young one ...
I then went and grabbed the long lens and came back and waited to see what Mamma brought back this time ... it looked like black berries to me.
Just love these cheeky little birds. Robin Redbreast at Kingston Lacy House and Gardens Wimborne Dorset. #BBCWinterwatch #BBCSpringwatch
I'd like you to meet my garden Robin. I'm hoping to get this fella to sit and pose nicely within some projects I've come up with, So you may see this guy a lot more.

Ahhh robins, belligerent territorial little thugs really, don't believe the public image! Cute and photogenic though aren't they?

In my search for "Life Birds" I find I have neglected the commonplace birds like the American Robin.
In 1931 the Michigan legislature, on the basis of a popularity poll conducted by the Audubon society, adopted the "Robin Red Breast" as Michigan's State Bird. It's also the State Bird of Connecticut and Wisconsin. Though it was named after the robins found in Europe, the American Robin, a member of the thrush family, is not closely related to European Robins.
Many people are happy to see the "first Robin of Spring". Though Robins are migratory, many do not migrate, and "tough out" Michigan's winters. Unfortunately, many do not survive a hard winter.
American Robins are very wide-spread, found in every State, in city and country, and are one of the most numerous of North American birds. This male Robin was found in the marsh at Lake St.Clair Metropark, Michigan.
