Taken today, in the Forest of Dean in the UK. Not the greatest photo, but it makes me very happy because the robin came up really close and I got to spend 5 minutes feeding it.

I'm a goof. But also I'm the first Robin I see every spring and my mum says I'm special.

    Hah! Fat little fuckers over there, ain't they!

    Now I'm sad thinking how long it's been since I saw an American robin. We did see the remnants of an egret flock on the swamp today. And there was monster Blue Heron circling about.

    Love them! Makes me think of my parent's vegetable garden where I've spotted them so many times. Fun fact, we call them "roodborstje" in Dutch, translating to little red chest.
