Hi Bill
My 2 cents worth. As soon as I saw the image come up on the screen it
just screams out as a Rose Robin.
Great photo's

It was a good autumn here for migrants.
We had an /ornatus/ race Striated Pardalote at Abberton early in
May, the first one I’ve seen in Queensland, and southern and
western birds continued turning up throughout the month, including
White-plumed Honeyeaters, Western Gerygone, Rose Robin, and
earlier in the month two Australian Pratincoles.
A female Scarlet Robin arrived earlier this week, and was still
here this-afternoon - bird 208 for the house list.
My first bird of the winter was a big brightly-coloured Brown
Goshawk, which glided into the jacaranda tree closest to the house
just on cue as I stepped outside yesterday morning.
The first two days of June have been ideal, in terms of both the
weather and the abundance of birds around the garden. As we sat
outside for a while yesterday morning, small birds were constantly
coming and going around us, fly-catching from the branches of
trees, gleaning their way through the canopy, foraging on the
garden floor, or visiting bird baths. Around thirty species came
into view in the hour or so we sat there.
A pair of Speckled Warblers were working their way together
through leaf litter and along garden paths, with the male bird
from time to time delivering a morsel to the female. Just a couple
of metres from the Speckled Warblers, two Striated Pardalotes
emerged from a nest hole right alongside our car shed, one which
they have used many times over the years, before heading out into
the surrounding trees, where a flock of Varied Sittellas were
hunting all over the trunks and branches.
What a great time of year for birding!
I’ve just updated the Abberton website with 21 new photos, all
from around the garden. To get direct to the "Latest Photographs"
