Robin Perched On A Branch

Robin red breast perched on a tree branch
This has to be one of my very best bird photographs to date, a Robin perched on a tree branch just before he swooped down to the ground to feed on some seed I'd put out to attract various small birds. This shot was actually taken through a window so I made sure that I cleaned it meticulously first and that there wasn't anything causing major reflections. As with all the bird photographs I've taken I've found that you have to be patient, try not to make any sudden movements and once you spot your subject be quick as it's easy to miss a shot, here for example I got just two frames fired and he was gone.

Shot at 400mm, f5.6, 1/200s at ISO 400.
