Because you just have to, right? Our Eurasian Robin has to be one of THE most photogenic birds we have (in the UK) #bird #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #scotland #AngusGlens #RSPB #BTO #scottishwildlife #backwaterreservoir

A Robin (redbreast) staring straight into the camera looking angry? Its rust red face and breast glowing in the sunlight, notice the tiny horns one over each eye?
A tiny Coal tit on a post we're looking right into its right eye, the top of its head is black, a white horizontal V shaped below its eye before a black bib, the chest is white fading through buff, standing on an old lichen covered post

Well! I've been up the reservoir two days running now and SO worth it for me. Yesterday my first male Crossbills popped onto a pine nearby and today ............ a Green Woodpecker, a first for me up here and ................ a Golden Eagle! Update, it may be a young White tailed. Taaaadaaaaah! I've been looking and hoping for many many moons! #bird #birds #scottishwildlife #wildlife #backwaterreservoir #scotland #BTO #RSPB #birdphotography #photography
