Friendly Robin

Turvey Nature Reserve is a parkland and woodland maintained by Fingal County Council.  There is a wide variety of birds to found in the reserve.  Along the walkways through the parkland I spotted thush, blackbirds along with tits and finches are aboundant.  I also saw reed buntings close to the lakes as well as linnets.  A kestrel and an egret also flew by.  The estuary had a variety of sea birds including teal ducks.  But, it was this cheeky robin that allowed me to snap the best picture.  It just stood there posing for me, not a bother on it.
I used my usual settings of 1/1000 sec with aperture of f8 (due to the extender on to give me a 560mm zoom).  The iso was 12,800 but Topaz DeNoise helped reduce the grainy effect and save the photo.
