Caught in Mondays snow shower! We didn't get much snow, or light on Monday so had to crank it up to 2000 ISO just to get 1/200!

Ah, cute! We have these birds over here as well, but you never see them in the snow. I think they go vacationing in exotic places.
Great shot, sharp, in focus, and the snowfall really makes it look more dynamic

Nice.... and a different species of robin than I've ever seen in the US. I prefer this one to ours.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, very much appreciated!

Must admit that I forgot that there might be a different one the other side of the pond, these little fellas are apparently the UKs favourite bird and a favourite for Christmas cards too!

Wonderful shot.

At first glace you would not think them related to Robins on this side of the Atlantic.
