Scarlet Robins are probably breeding at or near Uriarra Village but I'm only
deducing this because of the presence of juvenile birds. Is this a reasonable
deduction? There are an adult male and female scarlet robins accompanied by a
juvenile in my garden most days. I don't know if it's only one family group.
They perch on the fence at the edge of the village with my garden on one side
and horse paddocks on the other. A friend who lives a few houses down the road
also regularly sees adults and juveniles on her fence. They are sometimes
hanging around near yellow rumped thornbills and blue wrens. I often find tiny
nests in my rose bushes and low shrubs but thought they might belong to blue
wrens (which are the most common). Does anyone have photos of scarlet robin
nests or advice on how they might be distinguished from wren or thornbill nests?
