For Janet. A close-up portrait of a European robin perched on a slender, pale branch. The small bird faces slightly left, its round body fluffed against the cool air. Its bright orange-red face and breast glow warmly, fading into a soft grey-white belly, while the crown, wings, and back are mottled brown with fine feather detail visible. A glossy black eye catches the light, giving the robin an alert, gentle expression. Its short, pointed black beak is closed, and delicate pinkish legs grip the branch securely. The background is softly blurred in muted greens and browns, suggesting woodland or hedgerow habitat and drawing focus to the robin’s vivid colours and feather texture.
I promised Graham @oldmanrambling.bsky.social I would post a Robin a day for a week in memory of his beloved wife, Janet. As she loved Roberto, who is their little garden visitor. So for the last day. It’s been an honour Graham. #WinterRobin #ForJanet #birds #EastCoastKin
