Such a cheeky little chappie, he is awesome.

Haha cheers guys, i am pretty sure its the same one as last year as he sits in exactly the same place looking in the kitchen / conservatory window. He / she also hopped over to me giving me the beady eye when i sat on the back doorstep to take the pictures, i think it was expecting a handful of meal worms. He (i'll assume its a male) was so close i had to move back a bit as my camera wouldn't focus lol.

Has he got a name? I think he looks like Brian Blessed.

Cheers for the compliments, as to the camera well its an entry level Canon DSLR the EOS1000D, the lense i had on it at the time was my 55-250IS.

Epic pics - how do they manage to stay on your hand? i mean the robins i get in my garden don't go near anyone really.

Mealworms and a bit of patience and they will soon be litterally eating out of your hand :D
