A Cock Robin On Old Gravestones in Derbyshire, England


This English Robin was seen resting on old, dilapidated and unused gravestones in the graveyard of a small church in Derbyshire. As usual with Robins he was quite unconcerned about humans and was happily roosting in the warm Spring sun atop a gravestone reading 'Robert Cocker'.
