Meanwhile

On my way back from snapping the Lisbon posters I've just shared with you (and aren't you glad to have had your lives thus enriched), I met this little character in our hedge. It kindly stayed quite still while I took this shot.



It's a robin, I'm reasonably sure, but with far fewer red feathers than I'd have expected. Anyone know why that might be? Age? Sex? Autumn plumage? Indisposition? Or do some robins just not have as much in the redbreast department as others? I'm mildly curious, but not, you'll note, to the extent of actually looking it up myself. Please don't go to any trouble, in other words, but if you know, do tell!

Yes, me too! Might have been from the very last ... uh ... clutch(?) of eggs.
