I woke up early, saw the snow so took the opportunity to get these.
EXIF embedded in images.

I pretty much have no interest in bird (wildlife) photography at all, but these are brilliant. Some lovely light, great bokeh and sharpness

How close did you have to get to capture those at 300mm?

All awesome btw- especially the last one

Lens : Sigma 120-300 F2.8

Quite close on some on them - Robins are friendly though and one even landed on my lens hood

Minimum focus distance is 2.5 meters

Some images are 50% crops - The sharpness of the lens allows you to crop it without losing too much quality.

Robins are so cool! One eats of my partner's hand at her parents' house.

Lovely pics, especially the last one.

Really great pics.

I was going to ask what camera you have, then I saw that mountain of a thing in your signature.

nice shot, my favourite is the #3 and #6.

Did you attract the robins with food?

ElDude · 6 Apr 2008 at 18:00

The last one is really good

I did for the 4th shot.
The others were all patience – 2 hours of hanging around.

Cosimo · 6 Apr 2008 at 18:46

Great pics, #4 and #6 are my favourites.

syke · 6 Apr 2008 at 18:54

Fantastic shots, i cant actually fault them, apart from your name being on them, and not mine!
