This bird had seen the attendant holding a piece of bread roll which a child had dropped, waiting to return it. The Robin wanted that bread.

This was in the RHS Wisley Greenhouse, before I went further in, to where the butterflies were. I'm not sure how far I had got with setting up my camera but there was at least one flash gun on it. I got just two shots, this being the second one.

This bird was smaller than some of the butterflies I was to photograph.

EM-1, Kiron105, flash, hand-held.

Thanks. Ideally, I would have balanced the flash intensity with the daylight but I had about ten seconds before the bird flew away. At least the flash was diffused.

Thanks, Ron and Brian.

I was caught on the hop! Any birds in such places are usually running around on the ground and not a threat to the butterflies. This was in the outer, cooler part of the glasshouse complex.
