Hi,
Another in the series of birds shot at the Nelson Lakes National Park, at the Northern end of the South Island of New Zealand. An area that is renowed for its bird life.

I just had to post another shot of this same robin that kept jumping in front of my lens.

ROBIN (Toutouwai) Petroica australis
Size: 18cm.
Status: Fairly common.
Range: Central and southern North Island, South Island, Stewart Island and some off-shore islands.
Habitat: Native and exotic forests and scrub land.
Food: Insects.
Voice: A strong “twit-twit-twit” repeated many times, and a wide variety of other musical and chirping notes.
Breeding: August-February. Two to four eggs, cream with purplish brown spots.
General: North Island and Stewart Island birds have ivory white underparts. South Island birds are slightly larger and have a yellowish breast. Fully protected. (source:NZbirds)

Hope you like him,

Take Care,

John

Hi John
A very good shot. Good detail in the Robins feathers. There is a twinkle in the birds eye. Good composition. Well done.

Kia Ora John
Spot on with this image. Fabulous DOF with the bird in sharp focus and the background a blur - and so colour coordinated too!
Karen

Hi John

I am pleased to see another Robin shot from you. What a great alert pose. Nicely composed. Good POV and the colours are very natural. I particularly like the snow and the drips down the side of the timber. Lovely work. Please post more if you have them! :-)

Lovely capture John, good detail.
Regards Mark

Nice sharp details and a good composition, giving him some space to look into.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
