Hi everyone
I just carried out my first atlas survey at the
small open space down the road from my place. And the last bird I saw was
one I couldn't ID. It's probably a juvenille of something.
It had a streaky brown head and mantle. Black
and white lower wings similar to a robin or whistler. About the size of a
gerygone or small robin - very tubby. Nondescript beak - gerygone or
thornbill like. Relatively large eye (which made me initially think it was
a juvenille whistler, but it was completely the wrong size and
shape).
Ah... a quick look in Morcombe and it seems a
juvenille red-capped robin could be likely. But the breast
wasn't mottled brown as far as I can recall.
Okay, I just Googled and I think it's a red-capped
robin. Does this seem likely for the area?
