Morning all. This image of a Robin was taken yeserday morning. I spent several hours watching this boy/girl and it's mate feeding their young, and eachother. I got some images of the juvenile too which I will share with you later on. The weather was grey, and trying to rain all morning, hence the water droplets on it's beak. All advice and comments most welcome. :wavey:

Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150-500mm lens

A fine BG and the detail is very good . A more than acceptable robin image

Hi Paul

Nice one as Mark said great BG and detail - I have a pair on eggs only 5 feet from my front door so I'm looking forward to them hatching!

Yep, certainly is a fine image Paul with BG to match. I would actually say this shot by the 7D far outstrips some of the garden birds recently posted with a MKIV.

Nice one. :toast: :toast: :toast:
