As my long telephoto is in for repair and I was keen to get a shot of this cheeky fellow who waits on the gate for it's breakfast at 8 a.m. I took the shot with a short zoom (24-70mm) from a distance of about 3 to 4 feet. This would be similiar to using the A70. The european robin can be quiet bold and will come close to human contact. The first image is the full frame scaled for the web. The second image is a 500 x 500 crop for use on the web based on the 3mp resolution of the A70. This was taken in poor light, it has been very dull and cloudy in the UK since the new year.
