I reported a week or so ago that one of the Grebes had died frozen in the ice. I had heard that a second had turned up and today two Grebes were displaying and on top of that there was a third!!
After lunch I took my first visit to Rye Meads. It was very bird light, there wasn't even a Green Sandpiper!! Highlight were 4 common gulls.
Well that isn't true, the highlight was this chap. They look better opened up.
Lovely photos, Pete, and it sounds that you had a nice day, despite the fact that Common Gulls and a wonderful and curious (or is he anxious perhaps?) Robin had to make up for lack of other more interesting species. but c'est la vie.
ReplyDeleteA very obliging Robin that one!
ReplyDeleteI like the third picture from the bottom best, what a hairdo!
First and second picture from the bottom are the same pictures, the second looks more 'natural' to me than the last.
ta yoke. he flew off just after I walked off!!
ReplyDeleteCarin. almost the same! I was interested what people felt. I agree with you :D
I just love those last 3 photos Pete, it looks like you picked him/her up, gave the feathers a ruffle, and put back in tree lol.
ReplyDeletepaul.
Now that's a robin with attitude! Nice one Pete :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of the Robin.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the last photo of the Robin... the colour of the background really kicks it off. Lovely. :-)
