Rose Robin

Moggill (outer suburb of Brisbane), QLD. Handheld D7000 + 300 f2.8 Nikkor. After a lot of searching and many km of walking, today I found a Rose Robin in full colour at Moggill. He decided to display nicely after I whistled to him a bit, making the search very worthwhile. One thing I noticed about this little guy was his call, which was markedly different to that on Morcombe's guide. It also appears only the males in full colour will burst into full song.
