Cheeky Chappy

Hi posting this here as per Jim's suggestion.

My original text from the UKNP board...

Not posting this for critique, I just found it kind of amusing.

Whilst sheltering from the rain on Sat morning and drinking a cup of coffee with friends at the visitor centre at Sevenoaks, this cheeky Robin decided that my rucksack was the perfect place to survey the surroundings and look out for Rock Cake crumbs...

Some additional comments...

The Eurasian Robin is probably our most confiding bird here in the UK, often found around picnic areas and the like, they get very used to the human visitors to their space. because of their confiding and freindly nature I think it quite safe to say that many UK wildlife and nature photographers cut their teeth on them.

All the best

Phil, thanks for posting this! The side lighting works really well to bring out the texture and details, and the clean BG centers focus on the bird and the bag.

Nice!

Thanks for posting!
