A big thank you for all your comments and an extra thank you to Sally for making it a favourite.

The tail bugged me also ! I had entered another shot of this robin but pulled it and put this one in place. This little chap was very happy for me to shot him , even flash did not put him off, however he did hop around a lot an move from tree to tree so it was quite difficult to get a clear shot of him. I will post some of the other shots later.

thanks again
Mike

Loved this ! B&W works here, colour would not, I knew this would not please the majority here but dont change the way you take pictures to please the masses.

Yeh the sleve of his shirt was brighter than I wanted but I could not darken it anymore or I would have lost detail from his face and the rest of his shirt - sort of compromise.
