Robin chooses the lens

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.
