Out on an early morning walk through the woods this morning I made a beautiful encounter with this little Robin which was on the path before me. He flew up into a tree nearby and allowed me to take a few shots with my Sigma 105mm macro lens before flying off.

Lovely images and I’m so pleased to hear he/she was open to your presence and not skittish or fearful.
(I know skittish usually refers to horses, but I think it is such a great descriptive word).

Thank you, Vicki 🙂 I love Robins for they appear to have no fear of us humans, and they tend to hang around a short while, and not always that far away like this little one did.

Ahh, yes, I seem to remember how close the Robin appeared in the children’s book The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (one of my favourite children’s stories).

For good or for ill, I still know the lyrics and the tune — but now I associate them with more than one species of robin. Lovely photos.

Thank you, Ted 🙂 I had my 70-300mm lens, but it was in my bag and not attached to the camera, so I used what was attached and at hand 🙂

Thank you, Sumyanna 🙂 I find the Robins are one of the more braver and inquisitive of the birds here, and they sometimes stay quite near like this one did fortunately for me 🙂
