Here is a little friend of mine
I see him daily by the old mill wheel in Exmouth at the foot of the cliffs. I take seed for him and one dau I mounted my Macro lens on to my camera and held my arm out stretched . When he came for some seed I photographed him,. He then took the seed to is fledgling in the bush near by whilst mum sat a little distance away

That really does show trust, Beryl. It looks like he stopped off to pick up a worm before visiting you. :)
Great shot. That's amazing that the bird would land on your hand.
Thank you.
Yes an acquaintance I often see feeding the birds and squirrels asked me ine day how could he get a Robin that seamed friendly to land on his hand and take seed.
I said I think if you hold your hand out with arm stretched out at eye level. He may land on you hand because he can watch you whilst collecting seeds with out frar
The next time I saw my friend he said it worked . So we both feed the little chap and he trusts me so much he just flies down onto my camera
One day my friend was feeding the Robin and I was photographing hi feeding the fledgling
Here is the same little Robin printed in the local paper . I took quite a few photos with my macro lens

Thanks for those, Beryl. Great job on all of them. :thumbsup:
Thank you kindly Jeanne :)
Simply amazing!
Thank you all for your kind comments.
I feel it is an honour to be trusted
I have a friend who would say, "That hand is both the safest place to be and the most dangerous." Here it proved to be the safest.
Wonderful pictures!
Thank you JudyB :)
