I spotted this tiny golf-ball sized Robin in the Rock Gardens, Southsea and I couldn't resist grabbing a quick shot before it flew off. It's a shame about the messy background, but it was unavoidable.

Der Hintergrund ist in Ordnung, denn er zeigt andeutungsweise den Lebensraum des Rotkehlchens. Ein wunderbarer Schnappschuss!

Adorable ce "robin" Personnellement, je pense que le "désordre" de l'arrère plan donne au contraire toute l'âme de cette photo
