Excellent!
Re: Robin.
Thank you very much, both of you.

Re: Robin.
Wonderful photo! You can see every last barbule on the flight feathers and the down. I hope he enjoys that seed.
Re: Robin.
The detailed texture of the feathers at the base of the wing is exquisite.
Re: Robin.
Just beautiful. My favorite bird.
Re: Robin.
Thank you all.
Regards Per.
Re: Robin.
Always so gorgeous! He looks smaller than the robins we get in Missouri.

Re: Robin.
Thank you Lady Onogaro, maybe there are different species?
Re: Robin.
Yes, there are. The NA Robin is a larger bird from the thrush family. Your European Robin is related to flycatchers.Originally Posted by farmdogfan

Re: Robin.
Yeah, the other Robin is so cute. American version is masculine, but sings so pretty.
Re: Robin.
I have never seen a NA Robin, it appears to be bigger as well.

Re: Robin.
Yep, the NA Robin is close to the Starling in size. About twice the size 25cm vs 13cm long and 80g vs 20g weight of the EU Robin.

Someday I'll make a pens and birds trip through Europe but until then; keep the photos coming. It's nice seeing birds I can't find here.
Re: Robin.
I wouldŽnt mind a trip to the States, and go looking for birds (and also butterflies).
