Does anyone know if Red Capped or Hooded Robin ever been recorded at the You Yangs?

I would have expected that habitat is fairly suited to both species???

Both have, and I believe Hooded Robin continues to hang on in a couple of spots at the You Yangs  though largely locally extinct throughout the rest of its previous range in the wider Geelong area (south-central Victoria). 

Red-capped Robins are regularly recorded at the You Yangs, but are probably not currently resident.  Scarlet Robins are resident there.

The nearest resident RCRs that I know of are at Long Forest, maybe Eynesbury (both near Bacchus Marsh west of Melbourne), and Woodlands Historic Park (near Melbourne's Tullamarine airport).  Long Forest is mallee and box forest; Eynesbury and Woodlands are both predominantly Grey Box forest.  They co-occur with Scarlet Robins at Long Forest and Eynesbury.
