I came across another ridiculously co-operative Robin at Strumpshaw Fen yesterday. It sat there adopting various poses and allowed me to get extremely close. I wish the other birds had been as helpful.

Re: Close Encounter
When in the right mood, Robins are sometimes surprisingly curious and cooperative, aren't they?
The third one is my favourite. -

Re: Close Encounter
Great pictures. Could it be that it does not feel intimidated by such a small camera.

Re: Close Encounter
Many thanks for all the kind comments. I was pleasantly surprised by the bokeh in the first three shots. I would have expected it from my 60mm f2.8 but not from the f6.7 maximum aperture of the 75-300.

Re: Close Encounter
Good shots, well done. If you're ever in West Wales go to Bosherton Lakes, the birds will take food from your hands. I've not yet had a good enough shot whilst holding the camera in one hand but I keep trying

Re: Close Encounter
Robins make such good companions, I have been clearing wind damage in the garden and had a Robin near all the time, his singing made it a very pleasant experience
Sublime detail in all of these, most enjoyable to end the year.
The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.Comment
