I mentioned this recently in the Daily Sightings Forum. I was on the coast path near Dartmouth photographing landscape/fishing boats when I glanced down at my feet and found this Robin on my camera backpack. Perhaps it was attempting to tell me to use a different lens. Shot with Canon 7D and sigma 150-600 Sport lens, so I was desperately trying to back off sufficiently to get within the minimum focusing distance.

Fantastic photo, Geoff. I reckon Jen is right, it would sooner have found a sandwich than an expensive lens. |
