North Island Robin - Toutouwai

Not so many Robins at Bushy Park at present. Captured this series of this little chappie foraging along a bush track.

 

The North Island Robin is a small songbird that is light-grey or dark-grey to blackish with a pale grey-white patch over the lower breast-belly, and with many of the contour feathers having pale shafts which give this species a faintly streaked appearance. Adult birds are also able to expose a small white spot of feathers above the base of the bill. More info at: nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/north-island-robin
