Pictures can make things more striking. I see a lot of them in the Spring but not as sharp as this picture. Thanks for reading

For me they are more a sign of spring than robins. We get alot of them. We live in the country and have a lot of open ground which they prefer. Thanks for reading Sara and thanks for your comments
