Here's a picture of a Robin that is local to me, I've managed to photograph him for the last three years, he's turned into a local character, with folks coming to see and photograph him :-)
Lovely! More like Papa Smurf than Santa, but what a delightful bird.

Fabulous photo Ian, what a beautiful Robin.

Thank you all for the kind comments, I've been and looked at you Blackbird John, he was enjoying his bath, I think he left some soap suds on his head lol :-)
