One of my favourite English birds.  A sweet little Robin that liked to keep me company when I was gardening.  On this day it was the worst light with mid day sun but I took a grab shot anyway.

Looks like pretty nice side light to me, Carol. Puts a wonderful golden glow on the front side of this lovely robin. Very nice!

I love the robins that you have. What a great little bird to keep you company. I think he looks good and I agree with Ron......there's a golden glow. Well done.

I actually like the light and the bird is beautiful. One of my favorite birds from my childhood. Great image, Carol.

A robin is not a robin. It is so cool to see how robins look in other parts of the world. The English robin looks so much sweeter and cuter than our American robin. Nice shot Carol.

Lovely perch shot of this cute bird. I love the warm light. So different from American Robin.
