Robin

Sunday 29th May - Day 162

I didnt have a lot of hope for this photo, The robin was about 30 feet up in the tree, singing his heart out, and I knew I would have trouble with the backlighting. Nevertheless, I'm pleased with the result that I've wrung out of this. I think I need to move onto bigger birds... lol

btw - European Robin, for my American friends :)

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 APO EX DG OS
1/400s f/9.0 at 400.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Great catch, I love the short DOF one of the things I love about a nice telephoto.

Thanks for the clarification about the robin type..
