I saw a hooded robin at Gigerline last week. Another few weeks should see one or two among the flames and scarlets at Tidbinbilla. Go to the tree line behind the Information centre and walk towards Birrigai. Follow the track into the trees and you may also see diamond firetails. Go straight on down the hill where the road turns left and skirt the Birrigai side of the hill. Also look around the area of the Gibraltar school site and the other side of the track around the dam.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Hooded Robins?
Just wondering if anyone can suggest a good walk where there would be a possibility of seeing hooded robins? Other robins would also be good.
Also, diamond firetails?? I missed out when I went to Gigerline, so I still haven't seen one of these beautiful birds.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
