With people on the streets less, nature seems to be reclaiming the world. And being stuck in the house I have taken more notice of the birds. I'm an amateur in every sense. This picture was taken with an old em10 ii and a cheap zoom. I don't have a tripod so the camera was balanced on a step ladder with a book to prop up the lens! I then hid behind the curtain in the kitchen and waited. I took the photo using my phone as a remote. I know the picture is nothing special, but I'm genuinely thrilled with the result. Plenty of garden wildlife out there, wherever you live.

Congratulations to the winners!
I would say it's really nice result. The only thing which could be better is more blur in the background to not distract the viewer, but if taken through the window, then probably not much room for composition.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It wasn't taken through the window but I didn't have much choice with the composition. Background blur is what it is with a m4/3 camera and not a fast lens. Not too bad though, I think.
I think the details of the bird are coming out pretty nicely.
I would have done a slightly different framing. Give this robin a bit space to breath especially on the left side of the image :D
Thank you for your feedback. This is a crop so I could alter it a bit. I played around with a square crop which adds a bit more space.
