After nary a Scarlet Robin all through summer the species has been following me around on the past few visits to the Mia Mia.
This lovely pair were sharing a new territory with a pair of Red-capped Robins … a nice combination.
The Collared Sparrowhawk arrived on the scene, pursuing a honeyeater before perching for a few minutes in a nearby Grey Box. The square-tailed silhouette of the raptor in flight confirmed the identity.
