A friendly robin, who seemd to be very interested in the camera, and posed beautifully in return for some biscuit crumbs...

Where do you live to have a robin that looks like that? The only one I'm familiar with is the American robin. I like it!

P.S. - I wish we had that kind of robin around here! (:

Hi Bob, and thanks for your interest. This is the Old World robin found in Britain and most of the rest of Europe (those in Britain are particularly tame). The American robin was named by early settlers for its similarity to the European bird: this saved them having to think up a new name for it ;-)

Oh, this is a lovely Robin. He does look friendly and interested in all that's going on. Super clarity and well composed. Nice details of this sweetie - I love his lil feet and his tiny feathers fluffing out. He looks super sharp on that slanted branch. His coloring is beautiful and I keep thinking I can reach out and touch him. Excellent work here Simon :))
