stunning mate – I know I was a few feet away from one the other day at High Force he was sat on a branch – the only thing was another branch was blocking his view – but they seem so tame – great shot
Jason Connolly replied
Hi Steve, I was at Thornton force at Ingleton in Yorkshire when this fella arrived..
We get them in our back garden but usually they are gone as soon as you step outside which is why I was so surprised at how fearless he/she seemed at this location, appreciate the great comments Steve…

Such a beautiful shot! Great you could get so close! Wondering…..... did you pay your model with a bit of grain? lol!
Jason Connolly replied
LOL, Well actually didn’t need to, there was another photographer that was taking some shots too, he had just eaten and was being fed by his crusts, he flew of eventually after finding a worm, glad you like it my friend.

artwhiz47
Of the many robin shots I’ve seen on RB, & the majority are excellent, this is my favorite to date. Kudos!
Jason Connolly replied
Thanks Sheila, I was amazed at how well they turned out too, as this little fella was so close, I was so excited I was shaking, cheers Sheila..
artwhiz47
They are such wonderfully inquisitive & friendly creatures – a few years ago, we were in a wee tearoom in Drumbeg on the west coast of Sutherland, & one of these fellows flew in through the open door from the garden. He sat first on the back of my husband’s chair, then flew down to his plate! My camera was in the car….
Jason Connolly replied
I can quite believe it Sheila, apparantly they can be very territorial too, bet you wish you had your camera now, I had my other lens on when this fella came up close and was struggling like mad to change it before it flew away..
