There was a flock of about twenty robins in my yard on the 4th of February. They had come to eat the fallen apples. This apple tree is in my line of site when I am on the computer and/or painting. It's a wonderful view to gaze out on and dare I say, inspiring.

I added sharpening to this photo and the tree has really suffered from it though the robin looks better. I'm disappointed but don't have enough time to fix it.
Lovely bird. Our robins are very territorial and if twenty arrived it would be total war!!
Mary MacADNski: These fellows were very camouflaged. I thought there were only three until they took off in their big group. Robins don't always travel in flocks like finches do.
All the robins I see are loners Mary..To see a flock of them is unusual over here. Good picture.
Mary MacADNski: They are different in North America. I believe the American Robin is a member of the thrush family. Do you know what family your robin is? I've seen them on the European blogs.

My sister in Charlottetown just spotted her first Robin of the year and believes it might mean an early Spring but I think you may be right, Mary, that some birds may now be overwintering.
Mary MacADNski: We have some every winter with my abundance of apple trees. If any are around they visit me. I would have shown some last winter too. I hope for an early spring though.
A fine shot Mary, this Robin looks bigger than the ones we get over here.
