OK Philip, we’re not in an urban village in Ireland, we’re in a locality on the
southeastern edge of the Tallaganda State Forest and National Park, NSW. On
thickly-wooded Harold’s Cross Ck with adjacent pasture, good robin habitat. At
the time of the first sighting the other year I was even more of a learner and
had no idea we were in the COG AI, but have since been told that we are, just.
P&K say Rose Robins are ‘uncommon’. Should I put it on Ebird?
