My visit to Shakerley Mere on Saturday produce loads of images... I have already shared some of the birds I saw.... Blue, Coal and Long-tailed Tits and Nuthatches.
(scroll down to see the two posts after my "One Way" post below to view them)
One species was always present during my visit... the Robin.
European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)..
They were posing on all the perches available..
Fence posts.
The barrier at the car park.
A sculptured bench carved from a fallen tree.
....this little fella joined him on the bench.
and even at my feet.
I have to apologize to the Robins... my favourite little bird on this occasion...
...had to be the Long-tailed Tits.
Beautiful little birds to watch.... scroll down three posts.
It was pleasant afternoon.... roll on next weekend.

Love your robins!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI just love those robins! They're very different looking than our robin. Beautiful shots, Andrew!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little birds today. Really love the European Robin. The Long tailed Tits are one of my favorite even though we don't have them here in Canada.
ReplyDeletebeautiful each photograph; little treasures.
ReplyDeleteReally like your robins but I believe the Long tailed Tit is the winner here.
ReplyDeleteThe European robin is much different than the American Robin. I think yours is cuter but perhaps I am just too familiar with the American version.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of these robins. Always admire when visiting Europe as we don;t have them here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteThe European Robin is a cutie wearing it's little orange bib.
ReplyDeleteyour little robins are like tiny pears on toothpicks. so stinking cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew..Those Robins seem to be quite friendly ...they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteGood picks for WBW!!
Grace ♥ for Valentines Day!!
I just love these cute robins, so different than the robins I am use to seeing here in the states. Your photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, these robins are so very pretty! Very different looking from the robins in the United States. The Long-tailed Tits are beautiful! I have never seen one of these before. Look at that tail! This series of photographs is fantastic! A pleasure to view!
ReplyDeleteThe Robins are beautiful! Just like in my picture books when I was very young! Back then most books for children came from the UK. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of Andrew!
ReplyDeleteI love the European robin -- he is charming! And the tail on that tit is amazing!....Thanks for sharing! (I seem to be just doing virtual birding these days!)
ReplyDeleteexcellent set Andrew. I think the Robin is so overlooked as a UK Bird. When i was photographing some over the weekend i had 2 people say to be what is the point of taking photos of them they are as common ma muck. what do they know huh !!!!#Shaun
ReplyDeleteSuch a great little bird, the Robin.
ReplyDeleteHe never fails to brighten a day.
A grand set of robins!
ReplyDeleteI wish our Robins were that beautiful! Great series of photos!
ReplyDeleteThose robins are so precious. Love your photos!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely a brighter species than our robins and lovely little birds!
ReplyDeleteIt's time to start seeing my robins return to the backyard. By this time last year they were back.
Still love the coconut idea. :)
Andrew...your Robins are prettier than my Robins.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day. Wish you were here. hehehe
Your Robins are so cute and so different than those here in North America, come to think of it the Robins here don't usually take the time to pose either. The Tits are lovely, ours are quite drab by comparison, but still fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteHi there - what a splendid set of pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt's these birds that I miss - the once I used to see everyday - walking to work, on the bus, in the backyard.
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia
Great series of the beautiful robin.

2 of my favourites. So hard to get close to. You have gorgeous shots. :)
