Flame Robin

Moths around the Flame Robins at Cowra

The Flame Robins were out near Cowra in central New South Wales. With their main diet of insects they must have found a feast in what looked like a rather barren paddock. There were 13 Flame Robins in all plus a large contingent of Double-barred Finches and Yellow-rumped Thornbills. This gathering was repeated over several days, attracting a number of photographers who were taking part in the Cowra Woodlands Bird Program!
