In almost all species of birds when one is brightly coloured its the male is much brighter coloured than the female, people assume the European Robin must be the same but it isnt.

Doubt it, iv used mine outside (have to be pointing it at the front of the cam anyway as you probably know) and the range wasnt great at all.

Mind you thats enough to get the Robin, shame it seems to be hiding today.

Not quite exactly what youd expect but everywhere I went didnt seem to have any birds at all!  Got this in my Grandmas back garden when I was there for Sunday lunch, she always has some sort of birds in but there was nothing so got this instead.

Ok here we go:

Fits the theme birds in my opinion! Good resourcefulness.

Following several attempts to get any worthwhile bird picture this is about it from me.

So far its been too far, too late or something got in the road.

Guess I actually set up a flickr account sometime

Best i could do, been really busy, wanted to get something better but just didnt have the time.

If your wondering what the blobs are to the right its seed the bird has just thrown out of the feeder.
