Robin
During my "hide" in the photohide with al the squirrels, there were also some other guest visiting the site. So in stead of a squirrel someone else. May be next time a squirrel (I do have plenty of them :) ).
So this Robin (In Dutch "Roodborstje" and lit. transleted "Red Chest") was als visiting the site and landed on a perch waiting to be photographed.

Exif: 500mm, 1/60sec, F4, ISO 640, EV +2/3
C&C welcome.

Hi,

In the UK often called Robin Red Breast... nice pose and typical for the species, being alert, I am not fond of the crop and composition though, lose some from the top and cut of the 'dark' areas below and you have a great image IMO...

Nice Robin pic . A small nit- I feel the perch is a bit overpowering. No big deal
Cheers

I agree about losing some space off the top, but otherwise a fine portrait.

A smart robin indeed. Perhaps a bit less log for me :wink:
