This little guy (or girl) and its mate are the most photographed birds in the garden. I never get tired of shooting them, they're just so naturally photogenic. I'm selfishly hoping they'll get together and have chicks this year just so I can photograph them :)

Thats lovely shot Andy, like the silky background too. They are a very friendly bird, we have one that follows us around the garden.

That's a stunning shot! I have a friendly pair of Robins in my garden with 3 chicks! Managed some good captures, but not quite to your standard yet!

Very nice shot and I never get tired of looking at them, even though we don't have this cutie over here.

It's great.

I think that I'd have cropped this a bit differently, putting the bird further to the left and leaving more space to his right. It feels a bit "unbalanced" as is.

That's entirely subjective though - it's a fine image.
