There are some animals that are so wild that even zoos can't contain them. I saw this Robin at Chester Zoo. I don't think it posed too much of a threat.
Wild indeed, I hope you used a zoom lens and didnt get too close :)) A wonderful capture of one of my favourite birds, and yep they always make me think of christmas as well.
Your Robin looks much different than the ones we have around here. Ours are not nearly as colorful. I think ours are larger as well. You captured him very nicely Steve. Good post.
You hear of these Robins nesting in all sorts of strange places. The latest place I heard of was in the cigarette butt container outside some business. So everyone was forbidden to stub-out in it until the young ones had flown!! Lovely capture and the colour is spot-on. Well done!

Good one Steve, the monochrome background really highlights the bright red of his chest. As for being too wild for the zoo, he looks pretty cross at having his photo taken so lord knows how he'd react to being caged!
Awww, he's doing the "bird" dance!! Used to see that on Sesame Street? lol It's funny, the little things that add to a good photo...the leaves, they make us realize his size...the wooden pilings....nice textue...very good Steve...V
