Robin Fledgling - Erithacus rubecula

I was confused when I first spotted this chappy as for the last few days I have been straining to catch sight of the young Blackbird, so when I saw this I got all excited as it was out in the open, then I got confused It is, of course, not a blackbird Mind you, I've not spotted a Robin for weeks, so it came as a surprise to a young 'un.

That's a lovely photo, Louise!

I like the way the light shines on his little fat tummy. He looks as if he has been caught doing something he shouldn't!

Thanks, he was, Catherine, he was on the Blackbird's patch

[Chocky]

Yes he does look guilty.
Excellent capture

Cracker Louise, superb patterning on young Robins.

I agree with you there Rolf, young Robins are particularly pretty, I think it's partly because of the warm colouring. I got a young Starling today - not as cute and a very dull grey colour.
