M 200mm f4.0. I dunno, maybe 10 feet away? Maybe less. I gotta get pretty close for the birdy close-ups I get. Have to very stealthy. Well, not stealthy because I'm often in the open, more that I have to be very slow, quiet and deliberate. And be prepared for the little guys to flit off before I get the shot I want.
But some days I manage a keeper or two if I'm lucky. Other days (like today), nothing. Oh well, day not half over yet. Left the Lake, heading downtown for urban grit. Different approach required. ;-) Thanks for the comment, Walt. And thanks to all who looked and commented. Much appreciated!

It's really tough to get a good shot of a robin, at least in my experience. And believe me; I've tried. I've never been able to get quite that close.
