I think they're Presbyterian, not Nocturnal. I could be wrong. Lovely post Jan and the editing and presentation is just so good. You really put nice finishing touches on a photo. This is what a Robin looks like in USA. I think they're both great. Nice photo and post.
LOL@Don's remark. I saw two robins when I was down in the southern part of the state earlier this week, and they certainly are not nocturnal in our part of the world. It's amazing how differently they're colored here and where you are.
Lovely shot. You really took this little one by surprise!

Click here to see WHITBY through the lens of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe! PS I have no commercial link but Sutcliffe's photographs are historical! and any photographer worth his salt should at least know the history of their subject. He is one of the reasons I consider myself lacking, by the way. TG
Like your framing here Jan...and very natural setting...one can here the birds singing...Ahhh sign of Spring as I say this it has started to snow outside again here...gerry

He's really a robin? I can't get over how different your robins are from ours. This one looks so much smaller. A wonderful little creature and you have isolated him as if peering at him through binoculars. Nice idea.
The government of tyrants cannot last long because it is hateful to the multitude, and what is against the wishes of the multitude cannot long be preserved.

Wonderful and cute image. Very well done!
