Hi All
On 6 April I reported the arrival of Flame Robins at our property. I am now
belatedly advising that I am not certain of my ID on that occasion. I think
that it is likely that what I was seeing were juvenile/immature Scarlet Robins.
The first definite Flame Robin sighting (a male!) was not made until 5th May
and then daily from 10th.
Still on Robins, I think that I may have seen Pink Robins last week (and
perhaps once in 2003). This week I had good views of two brown robins that
appeared not to have any light mark above the beak and which had tan wing bars.
Unfortunately I did not notice whether the tail had any white but I now know
that I should have checked. I would appreciate any hints for identification of
either or both Pink and Rose Robins.
