Ok now you're invading MY space Robin!

People will be accusing me of getting too up-close to you & not the other way round 🙄
PS: I was sitting there with my camera focused on greenery behind the black tub waiting for the Chiffchaff .. yep still here .. to show itself.

From the old oak bench today ..

Did you know that #Robin likes a change from worms & insects now and then?

Just one sneaky shot of #Chiffchaff that's still hanging around the #allotment on this dull afternoon

Chiffchaff: "Look, this is getting out of hand!
Stop photographing me!

Me: "Sorry .. can't!"

Chiffchaff: "You need help!"

Me: "Nope .. well yes I do .. the camera battery is flat!"

Smooth portraits with slicked back or plumped up feathers can get a little boring sometimes so here instead is the seasonal visitor to my allotment in supreme
feathered disarray post bathing in the pond today ..
