Do Oxfam sell Tails?

Comment from El-mundo
Aww no, this poor little fella is going from bad to worse regarding his little tail (or lack of it!). He doesn't seem too down about it by the look on his face however and presumably it's not affecting his flying ability. But still, he must feel a bit left out and inferior minus his tail!! I'll keep an eye out for any going in any charity shops ;) let's hope it grows back in the meantime! Great clarity and lighting, highlighting his intact features - and well timed too! great shot, well done :)

Ed,
Thanks a million for your great review. This happen to another Robin a couple of years ago & it grew back with the New feathers. It certainly does not affect it's flying or it's ability to eat me out of house & home!!!

Sweet, sweet, sweet! If the background had been anything but grass, you could have slightly lightened the bird to show off his feathers more. He appears to be in a shadow. But I know how challenging grass can be to photographers--it can turn limey in an instant with software. But it's a dear bird and I'm glad you shared him with us.

Comment from Stringbean
A beautiful capture of your adorable Robin without his tail feathers. Gorgeous portrait with pin sharp eyes. Your framing is good and photo is well composed. Your spot on focus is sharp with good lighting and wonderful details of the feathers and markings. I think you have taken him under your wings....good storytelling and heart warming photography. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Mary Lynn,
Thanks a million for your great review. I just love all the Robins that come into my Garden. Out of the breeding season it's unusual to see more than one as they are Extremely territorial. They are unafraid of Humans on the whole & will come right up to you in the garden, I have two friends who have been able to get the Robin to feed out of their hand.

Sean,
Thanks a million for your great review on this very cheeky Robin minus it's tail.
I had to lie across a chair to get the picture out of the open door because I knew if I stood up the robin would have flown off.

looks like the bird is saying.."Hey do i know you??" lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the cute bird is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Mark,
Thanks a million for your great review on this Cheeky Robin. If I work in the garden it follows me around in the hope I'll unearth a Meal worm or two.

Comment from nature rules
I love this close up of this little Robin. Do you think it is too young to have a tail?
Your colors are true to nature and richly saturated to create this lovely composition. I especially like the diagonal lines of the slat that the bird is standing on. With the texture and color of the green grass in the bg you have been lucky to catch him in a spot where he has the stage. He is a bit in the shadows..but I like that. I can still see the clarity of his feathers and his eye. But I would probably pump up the exposure just a bit without pumping up the reflections on that green grass. Back off the whites for that. Well done.

Rebecca,
Thanks a million for your review. This is an adult Robin going through it's post nesting molt. It's at least one if not two years old.
I'm not expert in using editing techniques so do as little editing as is possible.

Quite a grand robin shot posted here! Your classic composition provides us with a great look at your robin. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!

Comment from avmurray
Poor little Robin, but he looks just as cure without the tail, and I suppose it will grow out again. He is for sure doing his best posing for you even without a tall, and he is standing out so well against the background.
Your photo is nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bird. The exposure is fine.
The photo is nicely cropped and the bird is well placed off to the right. Indeed a cute and well taken photo Susan, and with an excellent DOF.
