Scarlet Robin declared vulnerable in the ACT

["Ian Baird" <>]

Mark,

There has been a name change! And its spelt ‘multicolor’, no ‘u’.

I refer you to COG’s own Annotated Checklist of the Bird of the ACT:

Cheers,

Interesting that the ACT Government has declared the Pacific Robin, Petroica multicolour, as a threatened species when it doesn’t occur in the ACT whereas the Scarlet Robin, P. boodang, does!!

Today Environment Minister Simon Corbell has announced that the Scarlet Robin Petroica multicolor has been declared vulnerable in the ACT.
