This Robin was absolutely certain I was going to give it some feed, did nothing but pose on different bushes for me. The Robins (and Blue Tits) at Middleton are so dependent on hand outs even at this time of year.

Taken with my Fuji XT50 & Tamron 150-500mm, ƒ/10 1/4000 500mm ISO5000. First time with a bit of post polish from NIK Collection, quite fun to play with.

Bonus fat Robin

    Yeah, ours is one of the most vocal garden/small woodland birds going, and the most numerous, I think a lot of other birds seem to rely on its alarm calls as an early warning.

    The US one looks so different, pretty in a different way.

      Do they nest in the dumbest places. Front porch lights and basically anywhere they can build an open twig nest. Or do they live in holes.

      Ours live in the open style nests and crows frequently raid them for eggs
