Robin

Abi & I took a walk around the rowing lake in het Amsterdamse Bos yesterday. I brought my 50-230 lens with me, and got what I think is my favourite bird photo of the year. Nothing fancy, just a robin on a branch.

A robin viewed from behind, perched on a branch, with other smaller branches criss-crossing the frame and obscuring part of its head. The robin is turned slightly to the right, with just part of its red face visible, and its fluffy butt pointing to the camera. Its tail feathers are raised and pointing to the right. The tips of its delicate wing feathers are pointing backwards, distinctly separated. Its legs are almost impossibly thin.
