Oh, so that’s what English robins look like! I’ve heard for years that what we call robins over here west of the pond are really a species of thrush. I can see why English settlers would have named our birds “robins” – they do have bright red breasts, at least the males do (the females are an inconspicuous dull green) – but our version is much darker and more slender and elongated.
Our pesky squirrel keeps knocking down these little bird feeders. Do you have any problems? Love our Northmoor robins. Our’s is so fast to pick up bugs when I’m gardening. Our Vancouver robins are actually a type of thrush. Lovely but not so cute or cheeky. 🙂
So lovely, Gilly. 🙂
Beautiful little birds!

Since I was a kid, birds fascinated me not just by their ability to fly but of their colors and gentle ways. Beautiful capture.

So beautiful, I can even hear their tweets!

optimistic characters – we can learn from a good attitude!

so sweet. there is something refreshingly lighthearted about birds.
we have birds that are called robins, too, although they differ a lot. must post some one day 🙂
thanks for sharing.
Unbelievable! Even better. Kudos in capturing these images. It’s often that they are so difficult to catch them in great poses.
These are fun photos. 😉
