Hello,
For the first time in 9 years living here in Kangaroo Valley,
South Coast NSW (not far from Berry Mountain), I think I spotted a Rose
Robin. It fits the description in my Simpson & Day field guide better
than anything else. Distinctive dark pink to red chest with most of the
lower half white. Head, back and wings all dark. The Pink
Robin occurs further south generally. I could not see any white markings
on the wing or head but it was very high up flitting around the canopy of
eucalypts and my binoculars are not the best. Please let me know if this
seems likely that this is what i saw? The same looking bird was also
visiting my bird bath in dense shrubs but it was dusk and very hard to make out
at a distance. I ruled out the Mistletoebird.
Thanks
Carla
