New family on the block....

[GrahamS]

A family of Robins have taken up residence in our garden. This is mama Robin.



Nikon D7100, Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR AF-S Nikkor.

Excellent shot there Graham. Sharp as heck, can almost count the pin feathers on her.

[Julio1fer]

Excellent shot of the alert bird.

Makes me remember the poem, ...a tree that may in summer wear / a nest of robbins in her hair. Or similar words.

[Dennis Gallus]

Graham,

Nice shot! A bit different than the Robin Redbreast we see around the US.

[GrahamS]

Mr Robin has the red breast. I'll try and get a shot of him as soon as the sun comes back.

[Nancy B]

Very pretty! I can't believe the sharpness. Your robins look different from ours here in Toronto. Ours have much darker feathers and a much larger red breast, and I think they are bigger in size, too.

[Bennybee]

Nice shot, Graham. I'm surprised that this is achievable with 'only' a 300mm lens. How close could you get to the robin?

I promised a photo of Mr Robin. here he is:

Your Robins look very different from the Canadian variety, much prettier!

Not my photo, but here are what ours look like:

Here is Mrs Robin with a five course meal for three....
