Picture of a European Robin

European Robin again
Originally uploaded by TomasF

While I was lounging outside the cottage during easter holidays with my Nikon D70 mounted with the "Bigma" (Sigma 50-500mm), this small guy landed pretty close to me and started jumping around a few meters away. Presumably he was both annoyed at me placing myself on top of the wall he had started building a nest in, as well as attracted to the seasons first insects which were circling my cup of tea, waiting for it to get cool enough.

He seemed happy enough to pose, though. Have to say I'm pretty happy with the shot.
