Hi Cheryl,
yes, they are quite similar. The Dusky is larger, and plainer/more
uniform brown. They also have a pale eyebrow (often difficult to
see) and the patch in the wing is more a cream/brown, then the female
Flame's paler/whiter patch. The Dusky also tends to "just sit" (if
you can pick what I mean) then the Flame.
Cheers,
John Tongue

Hi folks
Just a correction - it was a PINK Robin I saw, not
Rose. Definitely a first for me anyway.
I saw a couple of them while driving through forest
areas. Too dark for photo attempts though.
Also can anyone tell me if Dusky Robins look similar
to female Flame Robins?
regards
Cheryl

Hi folks
We had a quick trip to Tassie over the Easter, to
buy
a car and do some general sight seeing. It was not a
birding trip but I was very happy to get my FIRST
views of:
Green Rosellas
Tasmanian Native Hens
Yellow Wattlebirds
white Bennetts Wallabies
Rose Robins
Kelp Gulls
Albatross and Shearwaters(not close views on these
so
unable to id).
Not new for me but good views of:
Little Penguins
Black Faced Cormorants
Scarlet and Flame Robins
Many thanks to those who offered some tips on how
to counteract seasickness. I ended up using Ginger
which helped one time but not the other. I certainly
don't have my sea legs yet! Back to the drawing
board
I think.
If anyone would like to have a look at my general
Tassie photos just drop me a line. It is such a
beautiful place and deserves more than just 4 days!
regards
Cheryl
