The Robin came really close here .......
At the Cromwell Bottom local nature reserve near Brighouse in West Yorkshire
(Brighouse Echo 10/12/2020)
Pretty cold here at the moment with snow covering the ground and sub-zero temperatures!
Thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images. They are very much appreciated :)
American Robin (Turdus migrators) spent the winter of 2015/2016, surviving on fruit and berry trees along with feeding on minnows in a small wetland in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
As we have now entered the winter of 2016/2017, it will be interesting to see if any Robins attempt to brave the season again.

DEAR FRIENDS! IF YOU CAN VISIT MY B&W PHOTOGRAPHY :) :
I found this nest close to my area, and I was so excited to take a photo but I just want to make clear that I really respected all nests.
Always remember to keep your distance from any occupied nests you find. You don't want to stress out the parents or attract any predators like squirrels or other birds to the nest :)
The Robin's red breast and habit of living close to humankind makes it one of our most familiar birds.
Robins are widely distributed in Britain & Ireland throughout the year, from Shetland to the Channel Islands, apart from on the highest mountain tops. Robin breeding numbers increased through the last part of the 20th century and have been fairly stable since, albeit with some fluctuations.
The Robin is both a resident and also a migrant visitor to Britain during the winter months, when birds from northern and eastern Europe help to swell numbers. During particularly cold weather this pugnacious little bird can be seen sharing bird tables with several other Robins, all of them trying to defend the food source they have found.
To me, this shot of the robin who seems to have adopted us is very endearing and my favourite of all: somehow he looks rather vulnerable and a little bit unsure of himself and I like the way the breeze is ruffling his feathers. And his stick legs hardly look adequate for his little body.....
He apparently had no fear of the camera and this was the closest avian experience I have ever had!
