The Poser

This young robin alighted just outside the window as we were having lunch and, seeing me reach for the camera, made sure....

....that I saw his best possible profile, posing....

....just like a professional model until he was....

....satisfied that I had captured him at his best.

Robins have bundles of character. We still remember with great affection a robin at Matenderere who, when we came home, used to meet us at the gate and accompany us to the front door. Then, in the early evening, he would come to the upper terrace where we were enjoying our sundowners, to be fed.... Bombay mix.
