I'm not a bird photographer but have always encouraged birds into the garden. This seems to me a lovely photo and an excellent first for the forum. Thanks for posting it and I look forward to more.

Hi Martin - welcome to the forum!

That's a nice shot for a first post, especially if you were using the 15-85. Even at 85 you'd have to have a fairly tame Robin to get too close, so well done!

Looking forward to seeing more of your shots on here soon!

All the best, Mike.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
By the way Mike not sure if the robin was very tame, although most are, but I cheated by setting the camera up with a remote. Just required a lot of patience after first studying where best to point the camera

I assumed that's how all the experts on this forum got those superb nature shots!

Sounds like a plan to me.
