visited Slimbridge at the weekend and spotted this robin in the trees near one of the drink stops.

Re: Robin
thats a lovely bird. from a composition point, i would have preferred a bit more filling the frame, but maybe you couldnt get any closer (at 400mm). that little OOF branch in front of the bird I also find a tad bit distracting. one step to the right would have been perfectregards

Re: Robin
hi chodeva
thanks for the comments - i think if i had moved towards it it would have moved and i have already cropped it.

Re: Robin
Unfortunately its not the best background and composition. I find robins are one of the less twitchy birds and it may have paid to wait a little while to see if he moved somewhere better, a fence post or suchlike

Re: Robin
Small bag of seed will make a Robin almost eat from your hand which helps to "position" them in the right place.
Well that's my theory anyway.
