I was blessed with some gorgeous soft light this morning when a couple of beautiful European Robins came to visit the hide. They might look cute, but they're aggressive, territorial little buggers when you watch them for while. Fun fact: despite being called Robin Red Breast, they're not actually red; they're orange. But they were given the moniker before the word "orange" was introduced to the English dictionary in the 16th century.

These photographs were taken with the Sony A7R V and the Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
