There were lots of somethings for me, Keith. I think that's one of your best robin shots...a good angle and great detail. And, in the second picture, it looks as if that dragonfly is looking over his shoulder, right at you. A great set of images.

Thanks Adrian.
Yea, got the new lens. Another 100-400 mm zoom. The Robin is with that lens, (high ISO), the rest are with the old one before it died.

Thank you Grace. I had a feeling you'd enjoy the flowers.
Enjoy your weekend. :-)

Thanks Linda. Glad you enjoyed them. :-)

A beautiful day, I joke. You had a pleasant day so I can see, the Four Spotted Chaser and Emperor Dragonfly were my favourites.

Robin said...

Keith, super series of shots!
I think of all the British birds, I'd like to see the Robin the most! Born in Morecambe I was actually named for one!
Cheers

Arija said...

I'm still smiling, Robins on rose-hips have that effect on me. A lovely set of pictures indeed, orchid and harebell and all.

Haven't seen a single dragon round here so far this year. Fortunately the pond damsels are thriving.

Thanks for your comment Frank.

Thanks John. The damsels seem to have done well this year, despite all the wet weather.
