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!

    Cute indeed Arija - but is he like our robins - very aggressive little birds.

    Your robin is so cute, tiny compared to the robin in the US. Great shots, Arija!

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

    Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
