Red-capped Robin - 20/05/2006 - Drayton

In 2006, we set up the inaugral Challenge to see if we could collectively record 250 species during the year in the club's survey area. How did we go? Extremely well considering the drought... Plenty of unusual and rare birds .... some great records from non-members too. It was a fascinating year. And a worthwhile exercise which we encourage other groups to follow. See for yourself...

Red-capped Robin -Drayton

Post by Michael Wood »

On Saturday afternoon I went out to the park and came across the female red-capped Robin -no sign of the males. She was foraging about around a small, recently established bed of native shrubs surrounding a seat in the smaller park to the north. Incredible that the bird should decide to make this home for a while.
