Robin White-Breast
This is just a quickie before I go to bed. There’s been a lot of publicity in the papers about a white breasted robin in Dorset. However, I have my own white-breasted robin!
The film clip above was taken by my CCTV camera very early in the morning (while the camera was still in infra-red black and white mode), hence the white-breast. He looks like he’s having a lovely bath and I love the way the water ripples in the light!
Hi there, Jane
Lovely video of the robin! Sometimes I think the quality of video is better in black and white.
I am guessing you are enjoying using your new wildlife camera
You are probably right about b&w… at least you can see the bird/animal easier. Waiting for foxes at the moment but nothing in the garden. I even went out and danced in front of the camera to check it was working. Maybe I should post that on UTube??
Depends on what you were wearing at the time LOL!
This is a beautiful film, thank you so much for sharing it.
Lovely video, especially the effect when the robin splashes about in the water.
Mike.
Dragonstar. I was fully clothed… so I don’t think I would get many viewings. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for visiting. It is a pleasure sharing my videos with other people.
Mike. Yes, weird effect wasn’t it… I think it was something to do with the infra red light, but I loved it.
Great to see the robin enjoying the water. Happy New Year.
I look forward to reading your blog in 2008. Best wishes Sara from farmingfriends

Thanks Sara. Happy New Year to you as well. Glad you like my little robin.
[...] there is any movement. It seems pretty good. I’ve already had some quite decent footage, some of a robin bathing (which is on my online blog) and some of a small mouse, foxes and birds at the feeder. Hoping to [...]
