Nest Building Time

By teocali
Springtime and this Robin (Erithacus rubecula) was stripping the fibres from a Phormium (New Zealand Flax) plant in our garden to use for building a nest. Taken against a background of ornamental conifer shrubs.

Many thanks for your C&Cs on my last image, with special thanks to Bob (bobpaige1) for his much appreciated User Award Smile

Your shallow focus is a little misplaced however this is still a wonderful image.

Excellent capture Sylvia. I have seen a Robin doing the same on our dried Honeysuckle, then flying off up the road.Sad
