Yellow Robins at ANBG [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[David Nowell <>]

A very poor picture taken in the "wet gully" in ANBG on 10 July 2006.  A very friendly bird and only seen once out of 3 visits to ANBG - as I am based in Rome, Italy, it is a fair hit rate.

I see yellow robins fairly frequently while riding along the bike path through Westbourne Woods between Government House and Yarralumla.

Perhaps a key point to make is that ANBG is a (perhaps the) reliable spot to see this species in the urban area.  The ACT Bird Atlas shows them as mainly occurring in the ranges and refers to them also being found in "dense vegetation along wet gullies".

 

The Atlas, published in 1992, also says the species "sometimes visits suburban gardens" which led me to take a squizz at the GBS results for this species.  It has been recorded in 258 observations, but only 4 of them have been since July 1999.  In terms of abundance over 26 years this species rates as 112th out of 230 recorded in the GBS
