"I always wear red when I photograph robins – they seem attracted to it!"

Nothing says holiday season in the UK more than a photograph of a red robin, bob, bob, bobbin’ along – and that’s exactly what Jonathan Stubbs managed to capture with his Nikon D3500 during a visit to Elvaston Castle Country Park in Derbyshire, England.

But this wasn’t by accident; Jonathan has photographed plenty of European robins over the years. He tells me: “I have a great love for robins. I find them incredibly beautiful, with the most wonderful, inquisitive personalities. If I see one, I'll always concentrate my efforts on trying to get a nice shot.”
