Erithacus rubecula – At a bird of prey hide – As I was imitating Goldfinches to attract them this chap came and perched perfectly, 3 meters from the lens! Not much to comment on – we have many around although they are very territorial! (300 mm + Convert. 1/4)
Author: Noushka Wildlife
Passionate about Wildlife, Photography and Wildlife issues.
I live in the south of France at the present, but have lived in Africa for 18 years, in the U.S. for 3 years.
With my husband, I created and managed a BIRD PARK in South Africa, raising mainly psittacines; the breeding facility housed over 1000 parrots at any given time. I speak French and English alike and manage decently in Spanish.
My photography is about sharing fauna's beauty with other enthusiasts!

In my garden, there is…
In my garden, there is… “Robin” who dances for his public, meaning me! He is happy, he has a human admirer! OK, I wanted to dream on but no, it’s just a Blue tit who made him jump!
