A Young Robin

On Wednesdays I work onsite at a health retreat located just outside a small village called Langford Budville. When I have my break at lunchtimes, there is nothing I enjoy more than walking around their beautiful grounds with my camera. This week I was lucky enough to capture this young robin. Such beautiful birds. I really love how it’s red/orange breast really pops out in the photo.

    1. Thank you so much Hayley – that sounds wonderful about your tame Robin, Grace would love that x

  1. I couldn’t pass this photo without commenting. I’m always in awe of anyone who manages to catch a bird before it flies off. Great capture Vic. I do love robins 🙂

  2. He’s a stunning little thing. We get some pretty birds here but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a robin that close!

  3. What a beautiful shot, there is nothing more beautiful than a Robin photo, we used to get lots of birds viking the garden until Toby moved in, they stay away now x

  4. Beautiful! I love seeing robins in my garden and that’s a gorgeous photo.

  5. What a beautiful photo! The red breast always looks stunning at this time of year against the winter backdrop! We love robins! xx #MySundayPhoto x

  6. Great capture. I love robins, the splash of colour is gorgeous. There is a robin in our garden everyday, just sitting on the fence, but I never manage to get a photo before it flies away.

  7. Hi Victoria, we have cheeky robin that perches on our woodpile. Whenever I go out back he’s there… Unless I have my camera with me, then of course he’s not! I swear I can see the cheeky glint in the eye of your robin too. Love the way It’s puffed up against the cold too.

    1. I bet your robin will be there for you one day. He does have a glint – he is so beautiful x

  8. What a gorgeous photo, his little redbreast really does pop! If there was a dusting of snow, it could almost be a Christmas card shot

  9. The health retreat sounds amazing. I’m glad you can enjoy the outdoors on your break. What a stunning photo. I love robins but they are so quick, I’ve never been able to photograph one in focus. #MySundayPhoto

  10. To me The Robin is the epitome of Winter, and as you say it’s red/orange colour contrasting against all the greyness of winter is just stunning!
    What a lovely place to work, btw, and how lucky to have a lunchbreak that allows you to do photography; mine is a quick dash to a sandwich shop then a room full of other PCs!!

    1. I totally agree Tracey. My work place is a portacabin so it is important to me to get out for some fresh air 🙂 x

  11. A stunning shot Victoria, I adore our robins. I missed them so much when living abroad.
    Happy Sunday to you

  12. I have a son named Robin with bright brown eyes and I love to catch sight of them in trees. Lovely shot

  13. Oh he is beautiful, we have some hanging around the farm but i never have the right lens on at the right time, your photo makes me determined to try.

  14. What a great photo – a lovely splash of colour on a grey winter’s day!
