Description
Stay, little cheerful Robin! stay,And at my easement sing,
Though it should prove a farewell lay
And this our parting spring. . . . .
Then, little Bird, this boon confer,
Come, and my requiem sing,
Nor fail to be the harbinger
Of everlasting spring.
~ William Wordsworth: To a Redbreast--In Sickness

My son said there's a robin behind you, I swung round fired off a couple of shots before it flew off. St Veronica, the patron saint of photographers, was watching over me

They are cheeky little birds and happy to come near to humans on the whole.
We get them feeding on a tray mounted on our lounge window which is beautiful

Thank you. It was one of those chances you see; then hopefully focus and press the shutter release just before watching it fly away; leaving you thinking you've got nothing useful. Luckily this time there was a good result

This was one of only three shots before it took off. No planning or expertise. I'd love to know how you capture your photographic prey? You must have a far greater awareness of your animal and good planning to get the shot. I rely on Lady Luck!

Perhaps it could do with a blow dry but you are right!
