The robins are thick in our part of the world right now, yet I can't seem to manage to be out at the right time to get a great photo. This is a cropped photo.
They're handsome birds, but I'm baffled as to why early settlers decided to call them Robins; apart from having an orange breast they're nothing like our Robins.
Oh, one of my favorite birds, Rose. They are brave ones, and don't fly away quickly like the others. Their orange belly makes me smile. Such a dear bird.
That's an unusual fence behind him, too!

ReplyDeleteThink your photo of him is great.
I can't get a decent picture of one with my phone which it my only camera!
Well it works for me.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a few flitting around gathering stuff for their nests.

Even though the Robin is such a common bird, it is so very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous portrait! I hardly see robins anymore. I used to see flocks of them but they have mostly disappeared.
