Stop press. This image of the same robin appeared on BBC North West Tonight weather spot. It's the first time I've sent an image in. They obviously like them BIF :biggrin: :wink:

Well done on the telly spot, but I think I prefer the first version. I agree with Phil that, for some reason, the small version of the first one looks soft.

Congrats on the telly spot David! :smile: The first post robin has a lovely plumage and looks in top condition and the snow really sets it off. The second post robin is a little tight in frame but I bet looked great on widscreen!

Congratulations on the telly spot. I really like the pose of the first robin but I agree with Phill about the softness. Due to noise reduction perhaps? :wavey:
