They certainly look different from the North American robins!

Very nice, Geoff - always nice to see a robin!

Which lens? The 100-400mm?

I can just make out that they were both 800 ISO (I think) - impressive.

No, in this case it was the 70-300 DO on the 5D. Its a lens which is great for carrying around for its small size, but not always happy with the rsults.

One of the things I like about SLWAP in the winter is the number of wildbirds that are around for the food, plus there are less people there.
