hi peter
as I said in a previous post, I didn't get a good look at it, this said, i
diddnt from memory see any white on the tail.
also,there were two female robins nearby, rather plain brown grey from
memory, with no obvious reddish colouring on the chest (unlike the female
scarlet for example)
Ta
Kev :)

Kevin,
Probably a male Rose Robin, though also Pink Robin a poossibility in that
part of the world. Did it have white in the tail?
What Evan says is true about most Robins, but Rose in particular will hang
about the tops of trees.
Cheers,
Peter
