Thanks Judih I was so pleasantly surprised when the little rascal stuck its little beak out to say hello.

There is a robin nesting in a tree right next to the house and I am waiting for the baby's to hatch and hopefully, fingers and toes crossed I shall get a shot of the little ones.

Ah, nature, ain't it grand.

Yes you are.

I think you stopped my breath.
I held my breath while looking at them. Trying to be perfectly still. You got nine shots off? Amazing, takes a quiet mind to do that I bet.

Great pictures mousey
thank you for posting

The promised robins.

There are no nest pics...sadly a grey squirrel and a grey cat took their toll...but here, here is the sole survivor from a family of three. This little one is a survivor indeed, with a little help from his/her friends...long story.
