Photographer's Note
I wanted to have a break in all the Santa Claus and christmas market photos I posted the last days and chose this winter scene.
Have a nice christmas, and feed the birds!
Robin, (Erithacus rubecula), a real "early bird", can be heard an hour before sunrise, is very popular because of its small escape distance, it behaves as if not afraid of gardeners: it looks for worms or other food the gardener is digging out. They look so cute, it is nearly unbelievable that they are known for highly agressive territorial behaviour, at least the male ones.

Hallo Elvira,
Wunderschoen photographiert. Gutes layout und schaerfe.
In Sachen von fuettern unserer gefluegelten Freunde bin ich Nummer 1.
Alle Tauben unseres Gartens sammeln sich jeden morgen vor unserem Kuechenfenster und warten geduldig, dass Opa Mesut sie fuettert :-)
Auch Dir ein frohes Fest und alles Gute im neuen Jahr.

Bonjour Elvira,
J'adore la pose que prend ce magnifique rouge-gorge, votre composition est superbe, très bien équilibrée, les couleurs et la netteté sont incroyables.
On peut apercevoir le duvet si doux,
Quelle belle pensée pour nos amis les Oiseaux !
Passez de Bonnes Fêtes,
Joseph

Hello Elvira,
The very pretty little bird looks like it has ruffled its feathers to keep warm. You placed it well in the composition, well balanced by the leaves and snow. It's a beautiful and also technically superb photo. I don't hesitate to admit that it's far better than mine today. ;-)
Kind regards and Merry Christmas,
Gert
PS There will be no book of my memories of journeys far away. I don't remember enough... and who would want to read it in these days when every one of 25 has been everywhere? I did publish a novel several years ago largely based on my experiences from Afghanistan in the early 70's, but id didn't sell very much.

Hello Elvira,
In fact, the robin often appears on Christmas cards in the UK :-) Excellent capture of this puffed up little charmer. Very nicely framed and with well rendered colours and good sharpness. Merry Christmas.

Hello Elvira, this has to be my favourite picture of the day! The beautiful robin.
We have a robin that comes into our garden when we are gardening, it comes quite close to us so as to see what we are doing, and it has a lovely song.
Excellent composition and a very sharp shot. I like the way that the robin is situated with the snow behind it. The colours are wonderful.
Happy Christmas.
Best wishes Jean.

Hello Elvira, Another wonderful close up of the bird. look at its eye! Charming picture. In my garden, the birds have still a lot to eat on the trees. I give them some seeds.
Frohe Weihnachten!
