The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a common bird but they can sometimes be pretty evasive. I was trying to locate them singing in the trees the days before without any luck. Then this one appeared to make a show, first chasing a rival (too fast for me to get the shot), and then taking a good bath before drying off in a nearby tree.

Øivind, your learning curve is steep!

Ohh elsid!
Great results
Is this the first time we've had images taken with the 600mm f6.3 here?

My grebes a few days ago were shot with this lens.

Elsid's shots are beautiful.
