Word must have got round among the local robins that I am targeting them with my camera. How else to explain them lining up, in various poses, to have their photograph taken? Having said that, I was at a bit of a loss with this robin. Was it hiding from me? Was it contorting itself in the manner of a fashion model, hoping to be chosen because of its unusual posture? Or perhaps it was simply engrossed in preening and preparing itself for the photograph it knew I would take? I got a couple of shots of the bird looking its best, but, as with the fashion models, the shot I prefer is the unconventional, preparatory image.
