A big thank you for all your comments and an extra thank you to Sally for making it a favourite.

The tail bugged me also ! I had entered another shot of this robin but pulled it and put this one in place. This little chap was very happy for me to shot him , even flash did not put him off, however he did hop around a lot an move from tree to tree so it was quite difficult to get a clear shot of him. I will post some of the other shots later.

thanks again
Mike

Great depth of field, it is a shame you were not able to get the tail in frame.

Nice shot. Need that tail completely there (it does make a big difference) but very nicely done.

simple, well exposed with a nice composition. Background blends well with the birds coloring. Good job

Lost his tail not good when photographing wildlife.

So cute. This is a European Robin, right? A very good composition. Some people might have oversaturated this but I like the muted colours.
