Flame Robin DSC_2943
The magnificent male Flame Robin.
Flame Robins are native to Australia. They are winter visitors to the lowlands in south-eastern Australia. In the warmer months they breed in upland forests. As autumn approaches, most move to lower elevations.
Spent a lovely day at the Western Treatment Plant with Andrew www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom/
and Colin (Cheezels were involved !). The beautiful male was conspicuous against the green and we were able to follow him around quite abit without him worrying too much about us.
We all delighted in the recognition of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful birding refuge so close by.
