GW Have ventured out (whats a little rain!!) have left my frame to my gazebo up this year so very handy to tie fat ball and six perch feeder to. Will do until I either make/buy/steal a  feed station. I have drawn my vertical blinds back in my kitchen and bedroom so that I can have a better view. Getting dusk now so didn't expect any activity today. Will buy another couple of feeders this next week. Fingers crossed.

Going back to the robin in the second picture. Surely the "eye" in the middle is the robins beak and not his left eye.If it is his eye then it is a funny one.lol
I think I am going blind!! ::) ::)

Wow, what a wonderful pic, well done Mark.   ;D  I wish I could get a pic of my fat robin but I'd need a telephoto lens and I don't have one.   ::)

Yes I've tried many times to get pics of the birds, just can't get close enough with the camera, this is a beautiful shot.

Lovely pictures folks. Wish i could get ones like that but like many i dont have a telephoto lens on my camera. Good though it is my camera is not quite good enough. In spite of this i did get some nice one of a young (and quite tame) greenfinch a couple of months ago.

Your robins have got to be 'locals' to allow themselves to be photo-ed. I have one about that is very shy. I suspect he is a european robin (rather than british) who is spending the winter here. European robins are supposed to be shy-er and less strongly coloured than 'our' robins. This little chap fits the bill quite well.

Thanks for the comments folks.   The Camera I use is a Canon 300D with the lens being a Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro.
