Nice composition, good OOF backgrounds SHARP and you can see time has been taken over them

Thank you....I really enjoy seeing birds from other parts of the world and you capture them well.

Thankyou for looking howdysmom, I agree about seeing birds from other parts too and even though they share a name they can be totally different looking.

:thumbup: Great work! Sharp photos. Did you use your Tamron 70-300? :thumbup:

Thanks JerseyMan, yes it was the Tamron hand held.
That lens won best budget lens in one of this months photo magazines. I have to say it's the only tele lens I have used and bought it after reading many good reviews though cost was a large factor too. I am very happy with it

Well, braving the chill paid off for you. Beautiful captures of UK birds. I am just in love with your robin.

I think here in the UK most people love our Robin, I know I do :D
Here are two more shots of a UK Robin, one from last month in the snow and the second from last year.
