When I was visiting Blessingbourne House in June I
walked round the lake and found a Robin sitting on this fence.
I took my daughter Judith and 2 grand children to a play park that had big Swans that you peddle on a lake, and lots of other fun things to do. However I had a disaster!! I had brought a flask and goodies to eat and of course my camera in a small rucksack and when I went to take the the camera out, water had got on it and it refused to work!! Now as most of you know I and my family are going to Malawi this Sunday for 6 weeks and going without a camera would be unthinkable. My camera is till not working however my birding friend Jimmy has come to the rescue, as he has the same camera as myself and does not use his too often as he has many other cameras so graciously and generously he given me his to take away with. The calamity has been solved. THANK YOU JIMMY.

Thanks you for visiting.
Many thanks for comments you left on any of my posts.
This little Wren is just flying by to admire your wonderful Robin photos (I miss Robins in Australia) and to wish you a great holiday! Please give Jimmy a hug from your blogging pals as we wouldn't like to think of you on hols without a camera either, as we'd miss out too! Have fun Margaret.

How fortunate to have such a generous friend. A holiday without a camera is unthinkable. Look forward to seeing more of your excellent photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is an EXCELLENT rather than a good fence. And the robin is special too.
ReplyDeleteYour robin is just adorable. Great fence shots, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent friend! I tell my wife I need more than one camera, just in case one packs up - I'm not sure she believes me!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
PS: replied to your email about posts in the positive.
Superior images!!! And Jimmy to the rescue! How kind of him to share his camera when you are in need!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret, for visiting and leaving positive feedback at I'd Rather B Birdin' this past week.
how beautiful the little robin Margaret. Nice of Jimmy to lend you his camera and I trust the camera shop will be able to sort yours out for you
ReplyDeleteAn adorable little bird.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fine friend you have. :)
Adorable little thing. Have fun with your grand kids!
ReplyDeletesweet robin! and a great friend you have!
ReplyDeleteIs a bird on a fence worth two in the hand? My funny!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad your dilemma was solved. Nice friend.
Your Robin is a bit different than ours---cuter too. MB
I was sorry to hear about your camera. Thankfully a friend not only supplied a camera, but one you are used to operating. These are fine shots of this little bird.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures! My husband's camera is 8 years old, and works great, but who knows?
ReplyDeleteCute bird! SORRY for your camera. You need another one! :) Nice to have a friend as Jimmy!
ReplyDeleteI love the little robin. Sorry about your camera disaster. I am glad you found a solution!
ReplyDeletePretty baby!
ReplyDeletePeace :)
What a great friend he is!!!! People like us just HAVE to have a camera, it is almost part of our body! What a sweet little robin! At first look, it did not look right. Then I realized that it is a real European Robin, the authentic kind. Here, we have bigger and thinner birds that we call robins, but they are not really! Isn't that funny?
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip!
ReplyDeleteSweet little birdie. Hopefully after the camera dries it will function again. My husband's music player went through the washer last week. He placed in a container of rice and all is well now.
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful robin shots and the fence is good too :) So nice of your good friend to solve the dilemma. Perhaps, as your camera dries out, it will work again?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the little robin. :)
ReplyDeleteCute little guy! Glad you have a camera to take on the trip. It would be a calamity to travel without one.
ReplyDeleteAh what a cute little robin.
ReplyDeleteOh what great shots! Thanks or sharing. Thanks for coming by my fence post.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your friend came to the rescue, a good friend indeed. Loved the photos of the robin.
ReplyDeleteMargaret! I'm in love with your bird photography!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute little bird!
ReplyDeletePlease give Jimmy our thanks, too. Your little robin is so darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet-looking little Robin, and what a heck of a friend you have in Jimmy!
ReplyDeleteMay your time away from home be safe and very enjoyable.

Precious little bird. Hope your camera recovers well and I hope your trip is a productive one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and thoughtful friend! Yay Jimmy for helping! I love your shots of the robin. The first shot is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely shots of the Robin, love to see them in the garden. So sorry about your camera, hope it will be ok when dried out. You have a good and generous friend. All printed with one eye!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good trip, and stay safe.
What a gorgeous little critter! It's so nice to have such a good friend! Looking forward to seeing your snaps.
ReplyDeleteLove your Robin on the fence. I have a blogging friend in the UK and she is an enthusiastic birder. When she put a photo on her blog years ago of a Robin I was instantly charmed by it. So different from the Robins in the US. You have a very nice friend! Enjoy your trip and travel safely!
ReplyDeleteGreat close-up's! Your Robins look quite different than the one around here.
ReplyDeleteoh what a cutie!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your camera . . . Someone told me to place my camera in rice when I capsized in the canoe . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely addition to your fence! And I love the editing of the last one. And I hope your camera recovers!
ReplyDeleteThe little robin is precious. Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteIl est magnifique et très joli ! belles photos!
