Robin on a Stick

A slight adaption of a derogatory term used by wildlife photographers when someone posts an image of a bird perching on any sort of post or branch.  The word usually used is associated with a family of birds with varieties including blue, great, and long-tailed!

This little fella just seemed to keen to pose on the branch, allowing me to go into another room to collect the camera and come back, even walking up to the window.  Usually a bird would be long gone before getting this close. 

Had a swim this morning after walking to the pool in pouring rain.  The weather seemed to have put off other people as well, there were only two of us in the pool for the first few minutes.  Even when I left there were only half a dozen people in the pool.  Can only imagine how crowded it will be in January.
