Thank you to Brendan Lepschi and Paul Taylor for two suggestions on the
right nomenclature for 'rose hip' bushes, as per the title of this
entry. The reason I mention these plants at all is that I have a
sneaking suspicion (very scientific) that where dead branches and twigs
are not available, Hooded Robins use the 'rose hip' bushes for hunting
perches. Alternatively, in the absence of other small bushes, they might
use the thorny 'rose hip' bushes for cover. I would be interested if
anyone has any information or observations that would support or cut the
ground from under these possibilities.
