Lovely photos - have spent most of the day trying to capture a robin - lovely.

Hey, those are nice looking pics. Funny to see a banded robin. #2 is perfect.

These are superb photos.

That is a very small bird, don't think it's a robin though.
It's cute. I will try to ID it.

Edited to add:
wheew...it's no easy feat IDing birds, I think it is a type of warbler because of the thin sharp bill, but I'm not sure.

Wonderful photos.

Nice shots . . . I might give Robins a try when they come back in April or May. I might have my SF9000 up and going by then.

Very sweet...

Very, very nice shots!

Jemmind ... it's a European robin - quite a different bird than our American robin.

Thanks ALOT for all the compliments guys :cool:

Thought i'll just add the settings

These shots(and the jackdaw),were shot on a really overcast day,so the light was rubish:confused:

Robins make great subjects. I love your pics. What lens did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

Robins - the American ones at least - are predominantly ground-feeders, so an SF9000 is not ideal. However, you can always place a small flat surface near the top and throw some mealworms on it. The robins will love you.

What's that on his right ankle? An ID tag?

The lens is a Canon 70-200 f4 L lens

Ah that explains it.
It's VERY different than ours here.
Also tells me why it wasn't in my bird book:)

The Robin shots are very nice indeed - I too am curious about the tag on it's leg - I wasn't aware that this type of bird could be tagged; can anyone throw any light on this?

The 'bird gallery' by 'LazyPhotographer' is an amazing collection - I have bookmarked the website so I can study it at leisure.
