Who Snapped Cock Robin?

Robin
Through the room window- one from last year.. My how time flies -can’t believe its twelve months. Sorry for the lack of input lately- domestic problems. Don't know aboutthe other Brits on here but its been the worst Winter here for birds that I can remember . Too warm !
Just like to thank all those of you who have supported my stuff over the months and thanks for the help and comments. Hope your Christmas Season and next year bring you many feathered goodies!
Best Wishes
JohnR

A very nice shot, John. I guess on the west shore of the Atlantic Christmas birds are probably like cardinals and chickadees. I can see why this is a favorite for you Brits. Very colorful and looks like it might be playful. Wishing you the best for the coming year. Keep your photos coming. They're great.

John, I really like this image. Out of focus snow in the background gives it a sense of movement, yet the bird is sharp and ready for action. I even like the snow on its beak. Well done and thanks for sharing it. Best wishes and I hope things improve for you in the New Year.

John,
Sorry about your personal challenges. We are glad to see you back. You post wonderful images of species we don't normally see, and in habitats that are foreign, pardon the pun, to us. This is a lovely little fellow.

Thanks Pat,Jim,Scott- appreciated, Things looking up a bit now.
The good will at Christmas bit doesn't always work with everybody in today's world but never mind. No birds around at all at the moment.
But some colder weather due so things may pick up.
Thanks again.
