    Chip & Pin Updates (Robins)

    Thought i would just update you on my trusted little friends Chip & Pin, i thought Pin had come to a nasty end, but she re-appeared with Chip in tow, who now seems to be much happier.
    First Image is Chip, Image 2 is of Pin, 3 Chip, and the last one is of them both together.

    Canon 1D MKllN - 100-400L .

    Its so cool that you have grown to know these birds. It seems like they really trust you to let you get so close.(I'm assuming that your close!)
    BTW, that third shot is perfect!!:thumbsup:

    Bev's Robin shots never fail to impress.

    Glad to hear that Pin wasn't eaten by the big bad raptor birdie.

    Re: Chip & Pin Updates (Robins)

    Thanks BB and Jaedon, kind words.
    Yes i am close to them they let me very close, well he does, she is more timid, he will eat from my hand and often he will slip and slide about on my lense hood as im trying to take pictures when im in the garden (cured that for him put camo tape on it), he also sits on the edge of the work top and watches me doing the washing up sometimes! shame he cant dry up! Hmmm, for my next trick!

    Nice shots, I especially like the one of Chip sitting in the tree.

    It's so great to see them both again!!

    Great shots too, any sharper and we would be risking injury!

    I always like seeing shots of this pair. It's really neat how you have them accustomed to you. Thanks for giving us a great view across the big pond.
