fIRST BATHE MAYBE

[John Robinson]

Young Robin at the pool before the flood. I,ve got it more or less back in shape- just waiting for it to settle down.
This is the first youngster of any species I,ve had this year.. The parent was actually bathing about 12 inches to the right. Probably showing him how to do it !

Hi John, another british calendar pic

Maybe, its just me, but I can see slight blurring on the head area, maybe because of the shutter speed??

Hi William
yes probably I only got a couple of shots and he/she was not used to being photographed !! Usually with trees in leaf, I am down to 80th !
Cheers

Happy little chappy isn't he :) reminds me of the redstart chicks I was chasing around the hotel complex in France, and I failed... :) Nice one.

Super cute image, John. Nice details and very interesting color of the bird.
