A female Scarlet Robin was foraging in my street in
Deakin yesterday (Monday) with a lot of wing spreading and quivering as if to
flush insects from the trees in which it was busy. Had there been a male
in the vicinity, I might have interpreted the behaviour as
soliciting.
It is the first time for my GBS to include a SR and
it does not appear to be a common event in September according to the GBS
books.
Also a lone Yellow-faced Honeyeater. Their
numbers have certainly thinned with the onset of Spring. They must be
trying to get a jump on the masses reported heading west from the
coast.
