Birds Hooded Robin

[Ralph]

One of my personal favourite little birds we have. These shots are what I have been waiting to get for quite a long time.
And it is the male and female in the one shots. I know it sounds easy to get but it really isn't.
On this day when it happened I was really happy about it and here are a few shots.
The male is the one with the Blackhead and neck while the female is plainer.

Great shots and cute birds Ralph, never heard of a Hooded Robin before!

They more than likely are only here in Australia. Thanks for having a look here as well.

I always wonder how they group Robins here and other in different countries.
We have got a few different type's or Robin here and I would like to get the lot one day.

The American Robin is a thrush relative, others seem to be from a different .. branch
