Bird Snuggles into Photographer’s Chest and stayed With Her for Warmth on a Snowy Day

A wildlife lover shared her heart-warming encounter with a robin last Monday.
Photographer Fay Wadsworth from Sheffield, England, was visiting a park in Doncaster when the friendly bird came over and nestled right atop her camera near the warmth of her jacket.
“I was blessed by this very friendly—and presumably cold—robin at Yorkshire Wildlife Park,” the 31-year-old explained.

She was standing by the Amur leopard enclosure waiting to photograph the new cubs when she heard a flapping.
“It was a little robin that sat on my camera… (and) it decided my hair was the perfect nestling spot.”
“Initially thinking it must’ve flown into me and got caught up in my hair, I freed his legs and opened out my hand, expecting him to fly away as quickly as he possibly could.

“I discussed what was best to do with the rangers and followed their guidance to stay near the woodland area while he was sat with me.”
“He eventually flew into a tree and began singing.”

A heart-warming (and bird-warming) photo. Robins are friendly little creatures. Never far away when any gardening is being done. Never heard of a case of one being as friendly as that though.
