I don't know whats happened to this poor little sod, dragged through a hedge backwards by the look of it.

It was noisy as hell but thanks to the thread earlier downloaded Neat Image
and at least you can now make out that it is a robin. Not the best of backgrounds but hey he sat there

Awww, so sad! looks like he's been in an oil slick.

You should offer that to the RSPB Steve, they might be able to use it for emotional blackmail......err sorry I meant advertising

That beats the cr@p out out of my shot of a robin today

Really nice shot

Can I wheel out the list of excuses such as poor light, a recent lens purchase i am not used to yet, it's Thursday, maybe not I should just forget the excuses

Nice shot spider.

I was just where you are now about four years ago Stuey, so keep at it.

As for poor light thats no excuse, this was grey miserable skies and it has had adjustments to levels in photoshop, can you see the slight halo around the robins head? that was further selective adjustments to levels to brighten up the bird, its not all press the shutter and get a winner y'know, and this has gone through Neat Image too

I'm assuming that was with the 55-300 Chris ? Pretty damn good shot (I'd just lower the exposure a tad though) !

I don't really do bird pictures but as everyone seems to be into robins right now here's one I did earlier. Its from my early early digital days, shot on my Ist DS in the summer of 2006. The lens was FA 70-200 mm at 200mm.
