yes I realise this is a bit late, but I thought the most surprising thing
about your previous report was that your Pink Robin was actually pink!
I regularly see Pink Robins around Geelong in winter - there are 2 in the
Botanic Gardens at present and there has been at least one there in winter
every year for years - and I have never seen a pink Pink Robin in any of
these winter locations.

G'day birders,
In terms of Rose and especially Pink Robins, nearly all previous records
in the
Bendigo area have been of brown birds, so todays observations (although
the Rose
was pinkish!) were still 'more normal' than the situation in the nearby
Mandurang State Forest (where there are still Pink and Rose Robins in full
adult
male plumage).
