World Bird Wednesday - Red-capped Robin


Inland version of the Red-capped Robin, Petroica goodenovii
at Wirrealpa Station in our drylands. 
Same place as the post below.


The female from the front above
and back view below.


Here is the male, almost at my feet
and cute as pie.

Happy birding everyone!

  10. What a great little bird - I need to go and spend some time 'inland". And a bit of local knowledge always makes things easier.
