Comment by Rob Haynes on September 19, 2011 at 18:12: Emily, that series of shots with film footage is exemplary, You have done a great job in capturing a beautiful bird in a beautiful way.

I am lucky to see wildlife every day and I just Love Robin, but this is inspiring for anyone to go out and try to capture such a wonderful story.

I have added this as my favourite Film of Robin.

Superb, Thanks for sharing.

Regards

Rob

Comment by Emily Clark on September 19, 2011 at 19:15: Thanks everyone! He is such a special bird, I still see him on the odd occasion, he pic pic pics when I call his name, so I know he's not far. At one point he would sit next to me & sing feed out of my hand, preen - feathers would float over my head. Once he was so relaxed in my company he sat & sunbathed next to me - the last 3 shots of the film show the time - I was lost for words! Every morning he would greet me in the garden, he'd fly onto my head, stay there for a few seconds, chirp in my ear & then so somersaults in the trees above. He had a great sense of fun! Now he's grown up... I once thought, I never want him to grow up! But he's now a beautiful adult robin & I really hope he sticks around! :)

Comment by Kate MacRae on September 19, 2011 at 20:24: It is always so special when we are lucky enough to connect with a living creature like this... something very precious. Robins are quite amazing... I had one that used to feed out of my hand and I never ever tired of the thrill that I got when his tiny feet alighted on my finger tips!

Comment by Loyd Bishop on September 26, 2011 at 1:42: What a beautiful bird, much more colourful than our Candian robin, which is gray and orange. But aren't they a fascinating bird to watch and be near. A great start to being a film-maker, Emily.
