    Default Cheeky Robin

    This cheeky chap, chapess, was almost within touching distance as i was filling up the feeder this morning. It was trying to get into the feeder as the food was going in so i went and got my camera and got the following.

    Note it is not been cropped at all he / she was about 4 or 5 feet away on top of a washing line post. I reckon with a bit of coaxing it might feed from my hand.

    Slighty better pic of hand feeding, not focused quite right as Robins face is slightly out of focus, but hey when you only have a second to get a pic its not too bad.
