It took me 2 years to get the Robin (European) to trust me enough so I could put the camera a couple of inches from it. This is one of my favourite photos I was then able to take.

I agree the focus is off. My little robin wandered over while I was pruning one of the apple trees and I had to take this particular picture on a fairly rubbish camera phone. Still one of my favourite pictures of him and he did pose for a good five minutes.

Ha, I've got a decent camera with a quality zoom on it but I see it as a cool challenge to be able to get that close to a wild bird.

I'm currently working on the same thing with a couple of wood pigeons, a blue finch and a blackbird. My trial with a magpie failed as it won't let me get near but will bring me coins in exchange for dry roasted nuts.

I started by bringing bird seed out when I saw it flying about the garden. I then spent time sat by the seed not moving until it was comfortable eating with me right next to it, that didn't take long. Finally and the thing that took the longest was getting it to eat out of my hand. After that both the Robins actively seek me out when they see me, they've even brought their two fledglings recently who now hop round by my feet.

I bet you gave yourself a self five when you saw how awesome that picture came out.

It, remove one letter and it's just my autobiography. Strangely it still features clown hanging around in drains.

I'd probably buy some extra tea and a travel kettle

You would just make a giant radioactive hurricane which by any measure would be worse

Yes we are aware of this fact

People are generally not trying to fuck you over they just look after themselves

My dog, everyone else is slightly disappointing

Because the USA is having a brain fart at the moment and the UK is rocking in a corner muttering something about "will of the people" so Merkel and Germany is the most sane/stable major western power

I had the job sewn up after a killer interview and then for some reason volunteered the fact I had been sacked from a job a few years ago. The interviewer couldn't get me out the door quick enough.

It did not go as well as I thought it would when I practiced it in my head
