That's a beautiful composition, Pops.

Paul Brentnall: That credit goes to the Robin.

Paul Brentnall: When they still like he did you just can't get it wrong

Very nice details, and I love the way you seem to have played together ... We can almost see a smile on his face ...

Paul Brentnall: Thankyou Ann. Truth is I prefer the company of birds to that of humans most of the time

Stunning detail, Paul! He looks the picture of health, too. My guess is the birds are pretty well fed in your garden. (:o)

Paul Brentnall: Yes they do eat rather well

Hello you ! What a beautiful, terrific macro !

I could stare at it for hours !

Paul Brentnall: It's not a macro Florence. He was just about 5 feet away from me

Love it! Robins are so entertaining

Paul Brentnall: They are indeed but they do have a vicious streak with other Robins at times. I captured 2 of them disputing territorial rights which can be seen at http://www.pbrentnall.co.uk/Robins-fighting/index.html

Very obliging indeed, what a 'cheeky' picture.

(noticed today that our robins are going around in a twosome!)

Paul Brentnall: It's approaching that time for them to pair off. Hope you get to meet the young ones later in the year.

Love the way you have composed this more than today's. Dunnock's are members of the Robin family aren't they? They have a sweeter, shier nature I think.

Paul Brentnall: Dunnocks don't really have any UK family members. They belong to what is known as the 'Accentors' family which is mainly asian. The Robin is a member of the 'Chats & Thrushes' family.
