    Talking True Love

    These are some of the images i have caught during the robins courtship. The male would show fluffing of the chest feathers and swaying side to side when another robin was close by.

    Dear Bevb
    These are wonderful bird shots and the mating shot (No 2) is stunningly beautiful.
    Congratulations.
    I have just been to your website and there are some brilliant shots there in all sections. Lovely selection of dog shots and stunning landscapes.
    I would recommend other members here to pay your site a visit.

    Truely stunning. As a fellow lover of the Robin i must say that these photo's put mine to shame. I especially love the second one down truely awesome. A ture case of being in the right place in the right time.... Please post more - even some in the gallery.

    By the way - whats your web address so i can see others?

    Thank you for your very kind comments, these little guys have kept me very busy since the start of March and i am looking forward to a successful brood of fledglings appearing in the next week or so! they are quite addictive little characters. I will post more as you requested. Thanks. Bev. www.k9imageworld.com & wwwbevbarkerphotos.com

    Wow, these birds are beautiful! Your site is very impressive too. I loved the fairy lake shot! And the woods at dawn. Gorgeous pictures.

    Wow, superb shots! They are excellant. The only suggestion would be for them to be a LITTLE bit sharper.... But they are fine already. Shows what a telephoto can do.

    Re: True Love

    Bev, you do such a great job catching these moments...I know I've said that before on a different one of your threads.
    All four of these are really wonderful...the colors of the bird(s) are beautiful...and the second one is a really nice catch. The third picture almost has the feel of an almost uncomfortably personal moment for the birds...lol.
    Nice job!

    Wonderful detail in these images, especially #2! They are so much smaller than the American Robin! I had never seen pictures of the European variety before. Thank you for posting them!

    Re: True Love

    #3 is hillarious after one reads the title of this thread! Very moody and great DOF
    I don't get that much love from the 1st one.

    They're all good though. Nice shots.
