I haven't posted a wildlife shot for a while

This bold European Robin spent a good couple of hours following me around a local lake. A one point I had two of these Robins peering at me from tree branches.

Some Robins are very shy and hide in the dense trees but some, the ones with the brighter breasts, seem to have a strange curiousity about us humans. A few websites suggest that the bold Robins are native British Robins and the paler, shy ones are winter visitors.

I'd be happy to be stalked by something this pretty.
Great colours and great details - and obviously your reputation has now reached the wild and the animals are queuing up to have their pictures taken!
Thanks for sharing
Mark
