Birds sure do have a finely tuned sense of when a camera lens is pointed at them. 👀 This robin seems to be interested in making friends today. There's also a magpie that I'd VERY much like to make friends with, who I see a lot of. 🪶 When I see the magpie next, I intend to ask them for permission before I attempt to take their photo. 🙏 #Birds #Birdwatching #BirdPhoto #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanWildlife

This robin has definitely decided I'm a friend of some sort. We just had a lil chat. #Birds #Birdwatching #BirdPhoto #Photography

Bonus: in-flight photo of the same robin, taken a heartbeat after the first one. And they've come back to watch me as I write this. ❤️‍🔥 #Birds #Birdwatching #BirdPhoto #BirdInFlight #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanWildlife

The robin has been hanging out fairly close to me all afternoon. When I just picked up a jacket I had hung out to air and flapped it a little, I got scolded! The nearby robin took off like a bat out of hell - squawking all the way to the back fence, where they continued to tell me how rude I'd been! 🥺

@Spectrum@beige.party They do know when a camera is pointed at them. That's where they deeply inhale to hide their belly. #borb
