There are many areas in Canberra where one can see
these. Tidbinbilla is about as good as many. Depends how mobile your 90 yo is.
Time of day is whatever is convenient for an old person. In the winter, when it
doesn't get as hot as in summer, the importance of not trying to find birds in
the heat of the day is less. So in June I don't think it matters. This is
the right time of year. The Flame Robin tends to like more open areas, so the
paddocks at the entry to TNR are likely spots. The Scarlet Robin tends to like
more treed areas so within the park may be better. However there is nothing
unusual about finding them within the same tree or sitting on adjoining fence
posts or verbascum stalks.
The first BOC trip I ever went on, we had a pair of
Rose and Pink Robins in the one tree. That hasn't happened to me
again.
