The timing is flawless, capturing a split second where nature turns playful.
The photo was taken by Lee Schofer and posted by his partner, Kate Weyer, on her Facebook.

Fast sicher fake.

Zu flach, und der Tropf darüber entsteht nur im Wasser.

The guy using @leeschophotography is called Schofield, not Schofer.

But let's assume, it was just misspelling.

Ok, so this guy made this amazing picture. This guy sells fine art prints of his pictures. But, surprise, surprise, not of this picture?

https://leeschophotography.co.uk/shop

Attributing it to some random photographer is quite the same as attributing it to a non-existing one. This X account is probably not the most reliable source...

Yes, a really big drop (see the amount of water, this is relatively heavy) on a tiny bird's head and no visible bird-motion?
Sorry. Hard to believe.

There’s just too much water in the Robin shot.
Compare the size of the in-focus drop, the sheer amount of water in the “crown” splash and all the other raindrops in the image.
Also, as others have stated, the bird would most definitely show some reaction to having been hit on the head like that.
It’s 100% an AI construction.
