I Know I'm cute - A Robin Up Close

[agrumpybirdphotographer]

Not the most exciting image I've ever posted but been a bit of a slow couple of months round here what with the rubbish weather. Anyway at long last I was able to have a go with the Z8 and a 100-400mm on some very tame Robins at a nearby RSPB reserve.

Beautiful image of a species that gets little respect.

Nice details. I can even see the surrounding landscape in its eye.
I am a fan of sharp close ups like this

Nice example of making the ordinary look extraordinary. Well done.

Beautiful shot Gordon. It looks much more like my male Bluebirds than our Robins. Stunning detail.
