BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY WEEKLY ~ 7 Flame Robins

Late afternoon on Mt.Baw Baw in the
Victorian Alps, I spotted this little fellow.
I only had my normal lens, so it was sweet
of him to let me get so close.

Flame Robin, Petroica multicolor

After a snowfall over night, his
Mrs. came to visit our lodge.



She was as cute as she could stare.

    What a beautiful bird with his scarlet breast on black with that touch of white. A nice snowy find.

    Lovely little bird! Beautiful photos, indeed!
    Thank you very much for your comment on my blog and for the information about the plant which name I didn't know.

    Beautiful indeed! Love the colors! Nature is so full of lovely sights and creatures, in spite of the bad news everyday, we still have so much to be grateful for. Thanks for showing one of them.

    So beautiful....! I wish I’d know the name of every bird specie that visits my garden.... On Thanksgiving Day we had a much unexpected visitor--a beautiful bird, of wish I will be posting soon, appeared out of nowhere, he didn't belong there, that much I know….. Wish I recognized what it was… maybe a prairie falcon… he was certainly beautiful ;)

    Have a good day

    He is even more colourful than our little robin here in the UK. I wonder if he is as aggressive - our little chap is quite a fierce bird when he gets going.

    Great photos. Wish I could get that close to a robin but so far they have proved elusive.
