I know this is not a bird – but it flies.  I photographed this moth at Cocoparra National Park on Saturday.  My research indicates a Crimson Speckled (Utetheisa pulchella) but I can find no indication that it exists in Australia.  Indeed its usual range is shown as Mediterranean Europe to Africa and Middle East.  However, I found records on the web of it occurring in the UK and West Indies so anything is possible.  Can anyone shed any light on it.
