This little fellow is a regular visitor to my garden looking for things to eat. Taken this afternoon ISO400, f5.6 1/320 with the Sigma 70-300 APO II. Cropped, Levels, USM and border in PS.

Enjoy! :D

GReat shot, they are so brave. I was out doing the garden yesterday and he (at least another robin :-) )was under my feet all the time, then he went missing and I found him in the conservatory trying to get out - that's how cheeky he was. I got him out without any harm. I don't think he hit the glass at any stage, but I am sure he wont go back in again :-)

What a brilliant shot of a cute little bird - I never get anywhere near one with my camera, but I'd love to get a shot like that

djonto, just go out to the garden and turn over some soil, one will usually pop out from somewhere before long. They get very tame(or cheeky) if you are in he garden alot. I got one to take a little spider off the palm of my hand about two summers ago, I did stand there motionless for about 20 minutes first though!!

Daragh's right. They soon get used to you being about and will happily get close by in the hope of there being some food on offer!

one flew into the kitchen yesterday.

got out again safely but it was beautiful watching it for a few minutes


it hops around the garden all the time when I am out there
they are very friendly, in a nice way
beautiful bird
:D
