Lawrie,
Do you know if Hooded Robins are found in Warrnambool? If so are they
common? Thanks in advance.
Yours Sincerely
Mr Jade Welch

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.
